Miles Between
Many people live far away,
From the people who they love each day.
Miles of land, of trees and sea,
Prevent you-from being next to me.
The bonds of love they keep us close,
Though miles between-we think of most.
We use what time we can and do,
Use text to chat and cell phones too.
Video clips and photos shared,
While closeness, we do need-is spared.
Now and then we drive and fly,
Embrace in hugs-sit close by.
Catch up on moments we were lacking,
Sit up too late-mindlessly snacking.
Then like a flash, the days are past,
Though time speeds on, the memories last.
No price applies to time well spent.
For loved ones sure are Heaven sent.
