Tribute to My Online Friends
This page is dedicated to all my online friends. Where would I be without all of you? I have been blessed with wonderful people like you in my life, and I am so thankful. I want to thank everyone for all of your caring, understanding, kind words and support. I value each and every one of you, and I hold you in my heart. This page is for you, my treasured friends. I love you!
So Much More Than A Name
When I sign Online Today
I'm happy to see your smile =)
We share our joys and cares and hopes
and prayers across the miles.
Even though I have never seen your face
or felt a {{{{hug}}}} we've shared,
I keep you in my heart, my friend
because I know you care.
You're not just a faceless name
without a personality,
you're my cherished online friend
who means so much more to me.
We share our hopes and our dreams
together we laugh and cry,
We support and love and listen to each other
when the rest of the world seems to pass us by.
Sometimes in our outside world
it seems that no one cares,
but everytime I sign online
a friend is always there;
to help me realize that there is hope
and that I am not alone;
It means so much to me when I can return
the love and support I've been shown.
So please be rest assured, my friend
that my loving support is yours,
and that though you can't see my face,
my heart's an open door.

True Online Friend
The true friends who we meet online are a very special kind.
They pierce your shields and see within the corners of your mind.
They're always there when you're in need,
with their power to discern.
They feel your pain, they offer hope and genuine concern.
We bare our souls, expose our hearts,
and show our inner fears,
and then before you know it, the keyboard's stained with tears.
And if we could see them through that screen
then no one could deny,
that to be a true online friend,
they, too must surely cry.

Angels Hugging Angels
Have you ever found a friend that just touches you deep inside?
You feel a special bond that you simply cannot hide.
You give them a piece of your heart, a view of what you are,
Sometimes they live close to you, sometimes they live too far.
It really doesn't matter - you were friends from the start,
Soon you realize their memory is a piece of your heart.
You feel like they're an angel, placed here just for you,
You are always amazed at the sweet things they do.
You don't have to see them or talk to them every day,
to know that God has sent them in His own special way.
How else could you explain this friendship and deep love?
It must be an angel, sent from Heaven above.
How can you love someone you've never really seen?
The question you may ask, "Is this just a dream?"
Soon, you realize your feelings are quite sincere.
Your friendship will continue year after year.
Funny, when you talk, you both seem to disagree
I think you're the angel, and you think it is me.
When you really look at it, you have to smile and say,
the touching of our souls has taken place again today.
Tongiht as I said my prayers, I prayed for my friend,
the feeling of wanting to be with each other again
is the inner joy that God places there,
the love one feels on top of Heaven's stairs.
So if you are lucky and you have found such a friend,
remember it is God, who lives deep within.
It is God's wishes to one day look to see,
angels hugging angels, perhaps it's you and me.

Angel With You, My Friend
Surrounding you are angels, they are there to guide your path,
if weakness overcomes you,
they'll give you strength if you will ask.
They are your protection when life seems too hard to bear,
And though you feel alone at times, the angels, they are there.
Their faces may be hidden and their voices you may not hear,
but they are always with you, through your laughter or your tears.
They'll walk along beside you,
they'll guide your steps along the way;
they'll comfort you and hold you, protect you night and day.
They'll hold to your hand tightly, they'll never ever let it go,
And they'll gently lead you forward, taking each step very slow.
For even as you slumber, they watch closely over you,
they are there beside you in each and every thing you do.
When life is overwhelming and your spirit has grown tired,
know they'll be there for you to uplift and inspire.
And when you're torn and lonely, and you see no hope ahead,
know that they will nourish you; your spirit will be fed.
And if there comes a time in life that your heart has been broken,
Hear the words, "I'm here my child," and know your angel's spoken.
For even in the darkest hour when all of hope seems gone,
they'll give you strength to live your life and desire to go on.
And if your faith in Heaven should ever fade away,
they'll help you renew your spirit, and help you find your way.
And even if you're filled with doubt about the life you live,
know that they are there to give you all that they can give.
They'll help you in your times of need, they'll wipe away your tears,
they'll show to you compassion; they'll calm your raging fears.
They'll hold your hand, direct you, should you fall from your path,
they'll lift you up to steady you; all you need do is ask.
For you see, the Father sent them, because to Him you mean so much,
that He sent them just for you, my friend; and your life they will touch.
For when you were within the womb, the angels were selected,
to guide you through your lifetime; to make sure you were protected.
They will always be here; they will never leave your side,
and upon their strength and guidance, you always may rely.
For even when the time comes for you to say goodbye,
the angels will be with you; they will lift you to the skies.
From the time you were conceived, my friend, until the time of death,
the angels, they are with you, with each and every breath.
And nothing is too difficult for you, my friend to face,
for you have been presented with a gift of our Lord's grace.
He has given unto you a protector that is there,
to share your burdens with you with Heaven's utmost care.
And no one knows you better than your angels know you, dear,
for every day that you have spent on Earth, they, too were here.
Take comfort in their guidance, draw strength from up above,
and know that their sweet presence is God's precious gift of love.

chases my tears and fears away.
So I thank you very much
for all your precious deeds,
you are truly an angel--
and a godsend to me!
