Note: I must admit
that poetry is not one of my favorite things to read, but
this poem was sent to me and I
wanted to share it with all of you.
I only know that it was said to
have been written by the great Charles
Shakespeare. If this poem
should belong to you, please send me an email
located on my home page.
The poem goes like this:
I had some free time,
so what did I do?
I checked the computer to see if I'd heard from you
I used to walk out to a box to retrieve mail
But I'd rather get it instantly than wait on the snail.....
Checking my e-mail is always fun
I usually get a joke or greeting from someone.
I feel so blessed because on the other end
I know I've connected with a friend.
When I've had a hard day and need to share
Here I can find a friend who will listen and care,
And to this friend I hope I've let them know
That I am always there for them also.
Isn't it a strange kind of bond we form?
It isn't exactly like the "norm"
But where is it written, face to face we have to be
For you to be a very good friend to me?
That little joke, or note, or even just a simple "Hi"
Could be like a ray of sunshine from the sky.
So my online~pals, this is dedicated to you
For all the smiles you have made anew,
May our friendship continue to grow
and the warmth we feel continue to flow.
Always remember this......
" A smile is such an easy thing
To pass along the way,
Like a ray of summer sunshine
On a somewhat gloomy day."
