You are mostly now just a voice
On the phone. Faraway you and I
Recount the tiptoeing we do through
The days– the beautiful funny
Blips on our children’s radar
Of attention and meaning that
Remind us that perfection is inside
The ordinary.

Lovely lovely lovely, honest and true. Faraway friend of mine!
Thanks Frances… miss you like crazy, everyday.
I love the simplicity of word choice here. It paints a dreamy yet slightly melancholy picture. It’s not obvious, but it does work.
