Meet On The Net

Ever wonder who you might meet on the internet
You never know who or what is on the other side
But sometimes you meet someone you won't forget
Maybe a person you won't feel like you need to hide

That person might turn out to be a best friend
Or they might even turn to be an intimate friend
You'll never know until you start to talk to them
And you befriend them by just listening to them

They may not have a friend that is real close by
Or they might be a type of person that is too shy
They come on-line to talk since no one can see
Just how they are afraid of reality

Some don't take criticism or rejection
So they feel safer at home under protection
They feel safer so they open up more
And they are more like themselves than ever before

They tell things that they might need to express
But are too afraid to say with others around them
They might even tell you all their wishes
Because they know you won't judge them

You see you might not be able to see that person
But just being there to talk to them brightens their day
You give that person a joy and a reason
To live another day

Very true subject matter.

Well done, a sweet poem

Kill me tonight and I will love again
Leave me to live and I live in pain
Leave me no love and I live in vain
Kill me tonight and kill the pain

You've captured it perfectly....one never knows the wonderful friendships they are going to make when they meet people on the net...and poets are all of the very best quality....

I know exactly what you mean as well. So true, the friends we can make or the love given to a shut-in, but I would be remiss to remind you there are also predators out there....

you talk long enough to some strangers and you feel like they are family...

AND THEY ARE NOT AND THEY MEAN YOU HARM..

Okay, end of my lecture....

Yes, I've met some very lovely people here at PIP, for one place ...and another beautiful site: ~By His Side~: a lovely place to go for prayer and uplifting thoughts.

Thank you for this,

Hugs, Pat
