This poem goes out to all my friends wherever they may live. <br /> <br />Someone said to me recently <br />you cannot count people on the internet <br />really as your friends. <br />When asked why not? <br />They replied, you never see them, <br />never touch their hands, <br />so you really cannot count them as friends. <br />I disagreed with them entirely; <br />friends are what you make people. <br />Maybe you cannot see them, <br />nor touch them physically, <br />but when you write to them, <br />you feel you know them; <br />sometimes more than <br />those you meet everyday. <br />My wish is one day <br />I will be able to meet all of them <br />and give them a big hug individually, <br />to show them they really are a friend to me. <br />I have met a few already whom I care a lot about <br />and I worry about them when troubles come their way, <br />but there are many more whom I have yet to meet. <br />They live in distant lands, <br />many thousands of miles from me <br />and I am going to do my best <br />to visit them one day, <br />so don’t be too shocked of you get an email from me <br />saying I am coming your way <br />on such and such a day. <br /> <br />2 August 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friends-across-the-internet/
