Virtual Warmth

 

 

 

She is feverish,
no one to cuddle her.
Her teddy bear does not respond.
Her little cousin is too small.
I come along and offer a few cuddles
cuddle
cuddle
cuddle
cuddle
virtually...
“Did you feel that?” I ask.
“Yes”. Thank you!

 

She feels cold,
shivering in her fever.
I give her virtual warmth
warmth
warmth
warmth
warmth
“Did you feel that?”
“Yes.”
"Thank you!"

She aches all over,
her neck, her back…
I come along with a virtual massage
massage
massage
massage
massage
"It could lead to other things!" she teases…
I say, “Turn over!"
massage!
"lol!”
"lol!"

 

She suggests a game of Yahoo shooting stars
over the Internet.
but our computers go haywire
downloading the crazy drivers.

 

Maybe another day.
There will be many more days,
and technology will advance.
Maybe that game of shooting stars will work...

 

"We rock!" she says!

 

What can I say?
Such trust is a richness 
not often achieved
by mortal man,
and it's warmth
reached through a cyberworld today...

    Lovely. Cyberlove. That's where the world is heading on. So far and so close. So close and so far. Why is so hard to look each other face to face?

    This is very cool. I love the idea of it, and the whole virtual cuddles thing is something i've done many times. It's funny how they do actually give some small iota of comfort.

    This was great! My BF and I do this all the time since we have so little time together and live so far apart. Beleive it or not this really works and it has kept our relationship alive and well. We always give hugs and kisses to each other and compfort each other by way of cyber space. Sometimes its the only way for us to keep in touch. You put this down so wonderfully, thanks.

    AWWW... This is so cute Gramps... I guess if Mal, Di, and my other AP sisters are still your daughters, I could be too... I just assumed that if Jess is your AP daughter, that makes me your AP Granddaughter... LOL... Anyways... I just decided to complicate things is all... This is a really sweet poem for Mal... I'm glad she likes it!!!

    Hugs,
