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 blessed
because on the other end
I know 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 listed and care.
And to this friend I hope
I've let them 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 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.
Always remember this...
A smile is such an easy thing
To pass along the way,
Like a ray of summer sunshine
On a somewhat gloomy day.
So pass one on
to those you meet
Then watch that person's face...
And feel the warmth
as it's returned;
It's called an
"E-smile embrace."
