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.
