Online Friendship

Are a very special kind ...

They pierce your shields and see within

The corners of your mind.

They're always there when you're in need

With their power to discern;

They feel your pain, they offer hope

And genuine concern.

We bare our souls, expose our hearts,

And show our inner fears;

And then before you know it ...

The keyboard's stained with tears.

And if we could see them through that screen,

Then no one could deny ...

That to be a TRUE online friend,
