On Line Friends

On Line Friends.

This one caught my attention when it bobbed up

as an email recently.

I had some free time, so what did I do?

I checked the computer to see if I'd heard from you!

I used to walk out to a box, just to get my mail.

But I'd rather get it instantly, than wait upon the snail! 

Checking my e-mail is always such fun!

I usually get a joke, or greeting from someone.

I feel so blessed, because on the other end,

I know that I've connected with a friend!

When I've had a hard day and need to share,

Here I can find a friend who will listen and care.

And to this friend I’d like to let them know

That I’ll always be there for them also!

Isn't it a strange kind of bond we form?

It isn't exactly like the "norm"!

But, where’s it written, that face to face we must be,

For you to be, a very good friend to me?

That little joke or note, or just a simple "Hi",

Could be like a ray of sunshine in my sky!

So my online pals, this is dedicated to you,

For all the smiles that you have made anew!

May our friendship continue to grow,

And the warmth we feel continue to flow!

Remember that a smile’s an easy thing to pass along the way,

Like a ray of summer sunshine, On a somewhat gloomy day!! 

Thank you for being my Online Friend!
