Noticed I was all alone today <br />But realized I never felt alone <br />Now I can log on the computer <br />Instead of going for the phone <br /> <br />It's wonderful when people visit <br />And I love my phone calls too <br />But now I have this special place <br />To come and visit with all of you <br /> <br />I can take the extra time in here <br />To say it with a poem or rhyme <br />To sit and think what's in my soul <br />Where I am not hurried for time <br /> <br />Things I would never say in person <br />For it's easier to say in written words <br />Because you my internet friends <br />Have heard what no one else has heard <br /> <br />I can come to you with anything <br />No matter how silly, real or unreal <br />You're always there to show you care <br />And just let me express how I feel <br /> <br />It seems it is easier to talk to you <br />Than with any one else that I know <br />For I can let my guard down here <br />And let all of my emotions show <br /> <br />So I thank you all for being here <br />And I count you as treasured friends <br />I hope I will always be here for you <br />And I pray this kinship never ends<br /><br />steve ray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/99-computers-running-our-lives/
