Listen to poem:
times were so very different
when I was growing up
till age nine I lived in a small town
my grand-mother just a short walk away
relatives were local and
huge get-togethers the norm
they were always joyful occasions
suddenly we uprooted
and moved to the country
leaving city life five hundred miles away
can you even imagine
a world without cable
color televisions or computers
electric games or email
pinterest or facebook
can you even imagine
snail mail being our only means
to keep in touch with
faraway family and friends
strangely they seemed
a lot closer in our hearts
