When Friends Can'T Touch

In my youth, we played games outside: like hide-and-seek, and tag, you're it. No one wanted to stay inside, active, we had no time to sit: fighting in fields, with swords and shields. Today, everything is cockeyed: and I'm not liking it a bit. Computers connect friends worldwide but such friendships feel counterfeit. You lose so much: when friends can't touch.

An excellent write, Emile, and so true! It saddens me to think of all the kids who have missed out on so much fun. They don't even know what they are missing. Blessings, Kim M
