I had some free time,
so what did I do?
I checked the computer
to see what came from you.
I used to walk to a box
to retrieve my 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 new-found 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 must be
For you to be a good friend to me?
That little joke, or note, or 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.

I'm really not an addict,
There is no need to shout;
But talking with my puter friends,
Has turned my life about.
I still do the grocery shopping,
And make a bed or two;
But instead of staring at TV,
I spend some time with you.
I go with friends or family,
To dinner or a show;
I take the time to hear my kids,
Or to watch a flower grow.
But yes, you'll find me off and on,
Sitting on my puter chair;
And talking to my cyber friends,
Who always seem to care.
There are redeeming qualities,
And hear me if you will;
Since playing in this cyber world,
I've improved keyboarding skill.
In fact I feel at peace with life,
Things are going well;
The only thing it hasn't done,
Is teach me how to spell.
