Computer friends

Someone asked me once
about people online
Don't I find it silly
to call them friends of mine?

I pondered the thought
for a little while
and slung them a story
with a huge smile

I wake up in the morning
I'll tell you what I do
I race to my computer
to check my mail, it's true!

I open each and everyone
and reply with tender care
maybe just a a line or two
to let them know I'm there!

I have seen strange things
been so many places
Have even seen a few
of their online faces!

It doesn't matter to me
that they are far away
Meeting them has surely
brightened up my day! !

We've shared a morning coffee
and at times we've shed a tear
We've been there for each other
even played cards and drank a beer!

They are just as real to me
as you are standing there
They are always here for me
with lots of love and care

One thing online has taught me
something I'll never forget
There's a lot of great people
out there on the net!

"How can you be friends with
someone you've never met?"
I'll smile and tell them
"You've never been online I bet!"

So you can call me silly
if that's what you want to do-
But I care for them every bit
as much as I care for you.
