IS THAT ME!


Bed unmade,
Table not cleared,
Lunch not cooked,
Clothes unwashed,
Dishes piled up.

Books unread,
Movies unwatched,
Songs unsung,
Prayers unsaid
Classes missed.

Phone silenced,
Emails unanswered,
Children ignored,
Friends forgotten
Whatever happened?

Placing titbits,
Writing comments,
Liking posts,
Virtual living
Mommy’s networking!

"Friends forgotten" Whatever happened?

Who said, Raji?....must be blogging regularly for 'virtual' friends to come over :)

but yes, i think i can relate, with the last stanza...but dear Raji, not forgotten at all :)

wishes,
devika
