I read this lovely poem on Sandip's http://forwardslashss.blogspot.com/ blog.

This is for all my online friends!

Online Friend!

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!

Chatting is always fun!
I usually get a greeting or a kind word 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 listen and care.

Chatting online is my food!
When I want someone to cheer my mood!

And to these friends 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 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 from the sky!

So my online pals, this is dedicated to you,
For all the smiles you've brought on my face!

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 walk in the rains
On a grey, overcast, rainy afternoon day!

So, no matter where you go,
Always be online!
And carry your own Sunshine Smile! :-)

Thank you for being my Online Friend!!
