FINGERTIPS

This morning I'm writing a letter for you
for you shines the moon and the stars.
Here it it's the dark and the cold white snow
and you have the glowing sun.
We send thoughts to each other
do we understand all hopes and wishes we have -
maybe, sometimes we will and we can
despite the distances between us.
How long I can reach with my fingertips
I need not be lonely at all.
I sit down with my pc and switch it on
and the whole world is coming to me.
A card from a friend with flowers on
and e-mails from east, west and south.
We know each other well -
or do we not - we have not seen each other at all.
Our meetings are done with our fingertips
which make all our talk.
From far and near words come to us
what you need is only a pc with a cable to switch on -
so you can talk and listen with fingertips
and give joy and comfort to your friends in the world.
