I had some free time, so what did I do?

I cheked the computer to see if I'd hear 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 emails is always fun

I usually get a joke or greeting from someone.

I fell 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 a friends 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 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

lighting up the sky.

So my online pals, this is dedicated to you

For all the smiles you have made a new.

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,

On a somewhat gloomy day.

So pass one on to those you meet

Then watch that person's face......

And feel the warmth as it's returned

It's called a "smile embrace."
