Screen Agers

As the kids from our area, We're outside having fun, I would sit on my computer, And soon childhood was done. As we grew to our teens, And outside the sun shone, I didn't look from my screen, And then youth was all gone. Through my 20's and 30's, I stayed on the same page, And in the blink of an eye, I had reached middle age. As I reached the half century, Life had gone at a pace, But I'd only just realised, I'd not left cyberspace. Whilst my friends had all married, And my relatives had gone, I'd been online in my world, Almost always logged on. With no memories or partner, And with no souvenirs, I'd neglected my life, And had thrown away years. Life's for the living, At least that's what they say, Don't let life pass you by, And don't throw it away. For it is no rehearsal, It's a once only deal, Every day needs to matter, Don't neglect how you feel.
