Your patience, love,
and understanding
have carried me through
some hard times..

Although you are a world away,
somehow we know each other
in a way that really matters..

We are closer than most
people who have met,
because we have taken
the time to reach deep
within ourselves to know
the person beyond the face.

It is truly what is on the
"inside" that counts.
You are more than words
on a screen..

You are an inspiration
in times of need...
You give me hope when
things seem lost...

You make me laugh, cry,
listen and talk...
You make me think
without saying a word..

In this vast world
of silent talk,
although we have never met,
I have found a true
"Friend.."
