~Thanks to My Online Friends~
There is a new thing in my life
The computer is its name
And to my amazement
It blows my mind away.
For it only takes a second
That's all the time it takes
To come online, make new friends
It's a wonderful machine I think.
A wonderful machine you say
It's simple don't you see
Physically I don't get out much
Few real people do I see.
My world was at a loss
Needing someone to share
All my dreams and all my thoughts
Now I've found so many who care.
For a simple fee each month
Online for hours can I be
With friends I talk, the web I search
It just really amazes me.
That in a few short seconds
From other worlds near or far away
I get a beep, a mailbox flash
Saying more messages for me.
There are not enough words to express
The way I am feeling now
I just know this, it is a fact
A new life have I found.
Thanks I say, why say that
For this reason alone
You bring me joy and happiness
I'm not feeling so all alone.
So if anyone you know out there
Is walking in my shoes
I suggest you say to them, get online
You'll find you are not alone
I know this to be true.
To all my online friends out there
I simply say this "THANKS"
I'm now happy not blue.
