I and Elisabeth Tingdal first met in the internet on December 9 2005 and since then we have been close friends who exchanged e-mails almost on daily basis, sometimes two or three e-mails within the day. We then introduced our families and now we all know each other, from the elder ones in both families, to the younger ones who are as young as one year olds. I created this poem after seeing this picture which I received few minutes before. Elisabeth is Swedish; I am a Somali as you may know of. In the picture you see Elisabeth Tingdal, her son Dan and his girlfriend, susanne. In the background you see Cosby, the family dog.
My internet family
The family that cares for
The family that cheers up
The family that gives love
My Internet Family
The family that shares pain
The family that pays respect
The family that gives fondness
My Internet Family
The family that lends a loving heart
The family that shows human concern
The family that offers tremendous joy
My Internet Family
The Internet Family of love
The loving family of love
The family of love in Sweden
The wonderful family of my family
Though far away from each other
We are too close to each other
We speak everyday over the net
We share a glaring human touch
Heartwarming tribute to your family. After all, we are all brothers and sisters, our father was one and our God is one.

The internet is a wonderful medium of communication and you have made good use of it. Thank you for introducing us to your lovely internet family. Are they also members of the authorsden family? Please let us know.
