Internet Friends

It seems some of our closest friends,
Are people that we’ve never met.
Some as far as half a world away,
Brought to us on the Internet.

How can it be we’re drawn so close?
To just words on a computer screen.
We can share all of our hopes and dreams,
With people we have never seen.

Some say it is a devil,
A godsend others say.
But to me the Internets a place,
To make new friends every day.

I’ve met friends here that I’ve come to love,
And they will be friends till I die.
I’m thankful for the Internet,
Friends are the reason why.

Jack Roberts – November 29, 2002

Excellent poem as per usual. I agree the internet is a good place to make new friends for people with the maturity to choose wisely which programs are positive like Author's Den.

Jack, you've captured one of the most promising things about the Internet - the creation of community. I like to think all these names -- and yours is one of them -- as expanding circles of support and interest that ultimately bring us all a little closer together.

Jack...I only really began to get over my divorce once I began to meet friends online...One can only find the devil if they look hard enough.

Great tribute to your internet friends...I happily consider myself one of them! There are more folks here at AD willing to be loyal friends than just about any place I've ever been! God bless you for this one, Jack!

I am like Linda, a loner, a passive introvert to the world, a compassionate, witty "person" on my few sites on the web, they ARE one and the same. It's kinda like an autistic, finding a way to communicate with the outside world to show them, "I am a real person", ha, funny, just when I could be anyone I've ever dreamed of, I want to be myself....

:) Wonderful read, Jack!

Great, sensitive write, Jack.
The internets a different world
where we can escape the realities
of life for awhile. I have more
friends online than off. Offline,
I am very much a loner. Strange, but
this is the only place I can be
myself.
Excellent write!

You are so right! Have people forgot the days of pen pals? When you spent months, sometimes years writing to someone you've never met or seen. Sharing you life, love, hardships and happiness together...I see no difference here other than it's quicker than a stamp! ~ Dee

I've spoken to many friends over the internet over the years. Many of whom I have become distant. I guess the older they get the more less time they have for the internet and the more they realise the real world. Greaet piece!
Cheers,
Tim

Friends and enemies and dangerous people who send viruses to your computer. There are all kind of people to meet here Jack. And over the internet, we can never be sure that we do know them. Bill Murray.

Yes, Jack you are right, I have met some lovely people on the net. Though, being a cynical old hector, I can weadle out the rogues pretty quickly too.
loved the poem, good rhyming.
