Do you remember when we used to talk to one another?
When conversations took place on the sidewalk rather than on an app,
And we looked into each other’s eyes rather than into a screen.
Do you remember when we wandered around with nothing but a paper map?
When we got directions from a shop owner rather than a GPS,
And asked our questions to other people rather than Google.
Remember when we captured moments through our eyes rather than a lens?
When there was no need to share everything we did with the world,
When our own approval was enough.
Remember when we used to get letters instead of likes?
Or made memories instead of posts,
Friends instead of followers.
Do you remember these things?
Because I’m starting to forget.
I always enjoy your poems – but this poem/picture is maybe my favorite ever!
Love, Dad
