# What Did We Do?

*by Madeline Heit Lipton, Long Island, NY*

What did we do before technology days?

We’d keep in touch through now old fashioned ways

A hello in a letter mailed the sooner the better

Penned floral, initialed, or perhaps solid sheets

Tucked in and folded oh so neat

That moment, opening a sealed letter so new

With contents of talk, details meant just for you

We’ve come a long way, or should I say short

When simply pressing send

Can reach to your friend

Large page or small

Though times have changed, methods too

There’s surely still space for… kind regards to all!
