Here’s a clever, little poem about setting aside our gadgets and focusing on what really matters – our relationship with our spouses and children.
And I didn’t carry my mobile with me…because the battery was flat!
When I visited McDonalds with my daughter after many days at last…
No Facebook, No Instagram, No WhatsApp…It was so nice to maintain eye contact!
I saw her big smile, her bunny teeth…She was looking like a Cat!
She spoke nonstop about her friends, her school…Those little big chats!
Am I missing this innocent fun, genuine love for being on the digital atlas???
Need to ponder, need to think…need to reconnect with my Cute Brat!

All other things can wait; heart must have only Family Impact!
Let’s ditch the gadgets, Let’s take out that picnic mat…
