For My Special Friends
"True Friends"... by Dream Weaver
You find them around
When you are in need
They will give of themselves
Regardless of deed
They're around when your happy
And when you are sad
Your mood makes no difference
They make you feel glad
You seldom know, who they may be
Unless you're having trouble
But when you need them, you will see
True ones come on the double
They come to lend a helping hand
Whether skys be gloomy or sunny
Then there are times, when you are down
They'll say things that are funny
The true ones last a long, long time
And always seem to be there
Still there are those that come but once
These "False Ones" really don't care
You'll find through life, that there are many
"Fair Weather", "False", and "True"
But never forget, if you would have any
You must first be a "True Friend" too.
FRIENDSHIPS DYING - Author Unknown
Friendships online are often fleeting,
Made and lost without even once meeting.
How many friends from online have I lost?
I haven't kept count nor figured the cost.
Some depart, spouting bluster and rage,
Others as quietly as the turn of a page.
Many return though I couldn't say when,
While the rest are never heard from again.
For the loss of some, the fault is my own,
An unkind word spoken and I'm left alone.
Some friends turn away for no reason at all.
I'm puzzled and hurt when they shun my call.
Scores of friends are forever lost to me
Since the systems we called ceased to be.
And more than once, I've had friends die.
I can't forget them; I don't even try.
So take a moment during your time online
And be aware, though there's no outward sign.
That sound you hear, that solitary crying,
Might well be the sound of friendships dying.
