Someone Once Asked Me

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 'em 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 perfectly true!
I open each and everyone and reply with tender care;
maybe just 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 beans 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 said a cheer!
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 find me silly if that's what you want to do,
but I care for them every bit as much as I care for you!
