It Sounds So Shallow To Refer To You As My Phone

There was a time, that we were parted,

I'd leave you on the wall, at home.

But these days, you're highly regarded,

it's near neglect, to leave you alone.

*

You make sure I am up by 5,

keep my routine, in check.

Track my heart, keep me alive.

without you, I am a wreck.

*

You help me write, find words that rhyme,

keep my schedule, right on time.

Like a best friend, keep the directions close,

tell me which way I should go.

*

You navigate and give me tips,

a faithful sidekick on road trips.

I don't know how I got along,

before, when I left you at home.

*

I may be out with other friends,

still you ding, as a reminder.

That other friendships clearly depend,

on talking with each other.

*

But you keep my favorite music queued,

so, I always step in beat.

And when a new show needs reviewed,

you binge them all with me.

*

Yeah, I may call you cell phone,

or my cellular device.

But you and I both know,

having you with me, really saves my life.

*

I'm never really alone,

I can even speak your name.

Siri, you are more than just a phone,

I should give you my surname.
