MY
FRIEND AND CONFIDANTE
You are half the
world away,
And my today is
your tomorrow.
I have never seen
your face,
Nor heard words
from your lips.
I do not know your
sounds of laughter,
Or the softness of
your sigh.
I have not a clue
as to who you are,
Or the customs for
which you live.
I do know that you
are kind and sweet,
You are a
thoughtful and caring soul.
You think of
others before yourself,
ALL others, young
and old.
These things I
know about you,
Even though we
have never met.
I have learned
this by coming home
Each day and
finding you here.
You are not here
in body and soul,
But as a lighted
rectangle.
You come to me
every day as
A message on my
screen,
A message that I
can rely on
To cheer me up and
make my day.
Through a keyboard
we share
Our ups and downs.
I have opened my
inner self to you,
And you have to me
as well.
We have traded
secrets and laughs,
As well as sorrows
and pain.
I have never met
you,
but feel as if I
have known you most of my life.
To most this might
sound silly,
But I assure them,
it is not.
Even though we
have never met,
I feel a bond
between us.
A bond that should
have taken years to build,
Yet was built in a
month or two.
A bond that
lifelong friends should have,
Although most
never do.
A bond that I am
glad to share with you...
My Friend And
Confidant.
