My Cyber Friend

Maybe you will never look me right in the eye...

Maybe you can't ever wipe my tears when I cry

Maybe we can't share some tea and honey...so sweet,

or walk together down a path...or up the street.

But we can still be good friends because, you see,

we met on the internet, you and me.

And when you have a "cyber" friend it matters not...

how you look, what you wear, or what you've got.

I don't care if your last name is Smith or Jones,

or if your size is perfect, plump, or skin and bones.

You're

You've

You've

and in there for me, been a pal through thick and thin... shared my glad times... my sad times -you made me grin.

So I have sent this page to you, dear friend so fine...

to tell you I'm so glad you're a pal of mine.

3

And here's a hug, though not with arms, for that can't be...

But it's a hug straight from my heart... to you, from me!

with a person instead, for example, withdrawing money from ATM or from a bank counter.

2. Computers can get viruses.

3. Software often has bugs, and sometimes computers crash.
