Screen Friends (Poem)

My husband has finally gone to work
My children have finished their play
they've gone to bed their stories read
Now it's my time of day.

I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.

I'll talk to all my friends
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.

My friends you're always there for me

whenever I feel blue

and though we've never met before

I know our friendships true.

And although we haven't been friends for long

in this short time it seems

we shared so many things already

our hopes, our fears, our dreams.

We come from different walks of life

but we share a common bond

and it's time to say that of all of you

I've grown so very fond.

So thank you friends for being there

whenever I've needed you

I know you're always there for me

and you know I'm there for you.
