Life Before the Screen

O, life before the screen
Will you desert us completely? 
Fade not into our memory,
For we need you more than dearly.

O, life before the screen
Where letters were stroked to life
Where games were played outside
Where friendships were built with our very eyes

O, where families spoke at every meal
Where children pranced in the greens of fields
Where spines of books were crimpled and peeled

O, where birds tweeted
Where cookies were heated
Where the apple in A was an apple indeed

O, life before the screen
Will you desert us completely..
