When I read this poem...
I thought of you!
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
to retrieve mail
But I'd rather get it instantly
than wait on the snail...
Checking my email is always fun
I usually get a joke or greeting from someone.
I feel so connected because on the other end
I know I've discovered a newfound 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 hope I let know
That I am always there for them also.
Isn't it a strange kind of bond we form?
It isn't exactly like the "norm".
But where is it written,
face to face we have to 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 from the sky.
So my online-pals, this is dedicated to you
For all the smiles you have made anew
May our friendship continue to grow
and the warmth we feel continue to flow.
