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 have my ever loving 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 even just a simple "Hi"   Could be like a ray of sunshine from the sky.   So my online and inlife 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.
