First of all I would like to say that I do not usually send poetry in my journals but this one is special, it says what I would like to say. Secondly, I did not write it, no talent in that field, it is from a website called www.spiritsup.com and authored by Kate E.

                                                  Letter to My Friends

It's not so many months ago

When first we heard each other's name.

A simple email back and forth,

And now my life will never be the same. 

And, so,as time went marching by

A bond began to grow.

We learned so much about each other,

Important things we had to know.

What kind of work do we do?

How do we spend a normal day?

What things are important to us?

Still so many things we want to say.

As time, day after day, went by

Our thoughts we soon began to share.

And then that "'puter pal" became my friend.

Someone, you know, for whom you truly care.

Can any of you explain to me

Why this occurs with just a few?

This fantastic bond of friendship

Takes place with only one or two.

Now my life is full of joy.

My friends are just a click away.

Some dear friends write just once a month.

With others it's several times a day.

But each and everyone of you

Is special in your own unique way.

You give so much to me,

More pleasure than I could ever say.

Your friendship means the world to  me.

And even though we live so far apart,

And we know that we will never meet,

You will always have a place within my heart.

This one is for all my DS friends, Be well, Debbie
