Signs Of Life Poem by Anita Atina

A quick call to say hello

I’m fine today how are you? emailed

A funny joke or an inspirational quote

Are all signs of life


They quietly whisper, you miss me as I miss you

Are signs that you are well and not down with flu

Just busy today

And we’ll talk more, another day


These small signs of life

Tell me that you’re doing alright

Which I need to know when you’re so far away

Where sight can’t reach

But hearts hold sway
