There’s nothing as nice as togetherness

With friends we hold so dear

To share one’s delights or problems

And to show each other we care

A look, a touch gives one a feeling of belonging.

But in these days of rush and never stop

We pass each other on the street or in a shop

‘Hello – how are you’ is all we have time to say

Too rushed – we’ve got to get away.

To what? A traffic jam, the office or where?

Surely we should have a moment to spare.

Maybe in our home we’ll have a cup of tea

I don’t know though we’ll have to wait and see

Wait? But time waits on no one I’m told

So make time for each other before you’re too old.
