Facetime

FaceTime's not replace-time 
But I'd say it's second best
For connecting with your loved ones
Gives those missing-yous a rest.

You can see them, you can hear them
And, although you cannot touch,
You feel like you're right beside them 
And I like that, oh so much.

In these modern times, a distance,
Even that of many miles,
Can be narrowed using FaceTime,
Bringing happiness and smiles.

I just love your poetry Ilene. You take the simplest every day things and make them even more special than they already are. This was great
