This is a poem I found that I thought was real nice and I wanted to share it with my friends here Someone asked me once about people online Don't I find it silly to call them friends of mine? I pondered the thought for a little while and slung them a story with a huge smile I wake up in the morning I'll tell you what I do I race to my computer to check my mail, it's true! I open each and everyone and reply with tender care maybe just a a line or two to let them know I'm there! I have seen strange things been so many places Have even seen a few of their online faces! It doesn't matter to me that they are far away Meeting them has surely brightened up my day! ! We've shared a morning coffee and at times we've shed a tear We've been there for each other even played cards and drank a beer! They are just as real to me as you are standing there They are always here for me with lots of love and care One thing online has taught me something I'll never forget There's a lot of great people out there on the net! "How can you be friends with someone you've never met?" I'll smile and tell them "You've never been online I bet!" So you can call me silly if that's what you want to do- But I care for them every bit as much as I care for you!
That is very true, people thay don't get on the internet just can't realize how deep of a friendship can develope between people that have never met.
Online friends come with all the newest features and benefit - without the conflicting interface 'reality' often has. Very nice poem.
Perfect Rita Even people meeting on the internet and hooking up for life is still looked at as weird by others Shallow minds I guess. The internet has given me some of my best friends who I feel I can tell anything without being judged, What a wonderful world
That is beauitful!! Rita! And so true~ I thought last fall, you all were a bunch of weirdos!! And I don't know how many times I told Steve you all were fake. Jokes on me, huh? I have recieved nothing but love and acceptance here. I have made some of the best friends!! If I'm ever bored or lonely.....I know I can always come here with all my wonderful friends and family. I'm blown away when I look at the huge world map on the wall.....and see all the tacks and pictures that represent this awesome family that I'm soooooooo grateful to be a part of. Thanks Guys!!! & Gals!!! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sehrgrosse/large-smiley-005.gif Here's another...... Screen Friends I've had one of those days you know what I mean so I sit back and relax and turn on my screen. I'll talk to all my friends who know just what to say to make my stresses go and my troubles fade away. My friends you're always there for me whenever I feel blue and though we've never met before I know our friendships true. And although we haven't been friends for long in this short time it seems we shared so many things already our hopes, our fears, our dreams. We come from different walks of life but we share a common bond and it's time to say that of all of you I've grown so very fond. So thank you friends for being there whenever I've needed you I know you're always there for me and you know I'm there for you.
How beautiful...and sooo true ! By the way, Have I told you lately, how much I lurve ya all !!? http://img148.echo.cx/img148/7945/hug29fy.gif http://img148.echo.cx/img148/4204/3kisses4rk.gif http://img148.echo.cx/img148/7945/hug29fy.gif
Rita and BBoss, thanks for the reminder that ya don't have to sit at the same table to be friends or even the same state or country! THOSE WERE JUST WONDERFUL REMINDERS OF WHAT FRIENDSHIPS REALLY ARE - A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WITH LIKE MINDS.... MARJA THAT'S RIGHT, CB, STICK TO YER GUNS, DEMAND YER RIGHTS! LOL!
I'm soooo happy your having a good night!! http://www.stroudwater.org/throbbing%20heart2.gif http://bestsmileys.com/love1/11.gifhttp://www.stroudwater.org/throbbing%20heart2.gif love on the internet... ....isn't it sweet!!
Well....if CB ever decides to marry me...he'll have to move. I'm not going to live in or on his flat, with nothing to hold on to, planet earth. Open, wide spaces scare me ~ I'm agoraphobic, lol.
Thank-You so much for the wonderful poem Rita. It rings so true. I have been online around 8 years. I was never into chat lines. Wilders is the first forum I ever really posted on more than a few times. I think my first 10F post was around the end of November. I really fell like I have made FRIENDS here. I can even remember posting in the Playing with pictures thread that I wanted to just keep it a non reality thing I did(posting here), but as time went on I feel I have really connected. I have learned about places all over the world(and we are not really that different where ever we are). I actually come here daily to get a good laugh, see who is sick (BTW StyleWarz how are you??), see how peoples kids are, let Marja give me a rough time, see Beetlebosses new smileys or let Nat stroke my ego (why you want to marry CB My wife might let me out of my contract some day LOL ) Thanks for the memories in the past and soon to be present, and thanks Rita for letting us share these warm and fuzzy moment! Mike
Fear not Nat !! We in the 2D world welcome agoraphobics.....................Time to come out !! Nat........... ~ knock knock ~ are you there..........?....................hello?.........................hello?........................ ............................. ..........................Nat ? Please...............you're offending the society http://users.compaqnet.be/antwerpmusic/fes.gif

Thanks Rita & Cindy for those lovely poems. I surely can identify myself with the feeling expressed in those poems. Glad to make friends all over the world and to keep in touch with them.
O.k., will you two stop making the Wildman feel all teary eyed, it ruins his reputation. Needless to say that those poems have touched me, an I thank the both of you for posting them. Thanks Wildman
