Especially For My Friends:
Dear Lord
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them Much the same as you We share in what life brings us And from that our friendships grew. Please take an extra minute From your duties up above, To bless those in my address book That's filled with so much love. Wherever else this prayer may reach To each and every friend, Bless each e-mail in-box And each person who hits "send". When you update your Heavenly list On your own Great CD-ROM, Bless everyone who says this prayer Sent up to GOD.com Amen. Author Unknown.
In 2006 I posted a poem I wrote for my online friends and checked back through my posts from yahoo and found it. So below here I am now including the verse from that post from 2006. I wrote it a few years earlier from my own observations about net friendships.
Far Away Friends
Although we have not met, face to face,
Your presence holds a familiar place.
From across the distances of earth and sea
We, my friends can assume an identity.
It does not matter at all, in that;
Our meeting place, was the internet.
For we have found faith, hope and trust
And for some, maybe, just a little lust,
Beneath the sharing of our chit and chat
Whilst most of us, at our p.c's sat
We all found friendship through, and through
And a powerful serve of spirit too.
So may I suggest to you, one and all,
That each of us heard a world wide call,
Of Unity, of Love, of Peace on Earth,
Would you consider the net has worth?
There are many of us now you see;
Who realise the net was our destiny.
For far off lands we want to see,
And friends with whom, we want to be,
But for the moment it is good to know,
When on goes the messenger,
Our friends will show.
