My Cyber Friend
Maybe you will never look me right in the eye...
Maybe you can't ever wipe my tears when I cry
Maybe we can't share some tea and honey...so sweet,
or walk together down a path...or up the street.
But we can still be good friends because, you see,
we met on the internet, you and me.
And when you have a "cyber" friend it matters not...
how you look, what you wear, or what you've got.
I don't care if your last name is Smith or Jones,
or if your size is perfect, plump, or skin and bones.
You're
You've
You've
and in there for me, been a pal through thick and thin... shared my glad times... my sad times -you made me grin.
So I have sent this page to you, dear friend so fine...
to tell you I'm so glad you're a pal of mine.

,And here's a hug, though not with arms, for that can't be...
But it's a hug straight from my heart... to you, from me!
