When friends or family make a call
Or
text or email, I embrace
Their
reaching out, for there is love
In
every case of touching base.
A
little shout-out’s all I need
To
let me know they think of me.
I
do the same since now, of course,
We’re
all considered “absentee.”
A
written note sent through the mail
(So
rare these days) works just as well
As
one I read upon a screen
And,
even better, I can tell
A
lot about a person’s mood
In
phone calls, for within that voice
Are
hints of why the call’s been made –
To
rant, seek solace or rejoice.
And
lastly, there is FaceTime, Zoom
Or
Messenger, with face-to-face
But
all, to me, complete the job
Of
taking time for touching base.
