I have a close friend
I met on the net,
a friend I think of every day,
someone whose warmth
I could never forget.

My friend may live far away,
but is no less precious to me,
because we share each other's lives,
and encourage each other
to be all that we can be.


When counting my blessings
this season, I'll say a
heartfelt prayer
for my special online friend
out there.


And I'll make a wish,
as I always do,
that the dear dreams in
my friend's heart
will someday come true.

Thank you for being a friend,
someone who gives me something
to look forward to each day,
someone whom I can always depend.
