People Turning Into Friends

There are so many wonderful, fantastic people in this world of ours, and I have meet them through the Net, ICQ and some in Real Life. Though we are separated by miles and connected only by computers, modems, cables, telephones through the Web, I still feel their presence beside me.

I have met so many special friends since I've been connected to the net in the last four (4) years. I've meet some friends that have deeply touched something good inside of me. It has helped me discover the glorious levels on my inner strengths. This is where I find my courage and endurance to survive against all odds.

The Internet has made it possible for us all to meet people we never would have met any other way.

You get a chance to know people by their hearts and souls, and NOT by their looks. I suppose that if you would have met many of these people on the street, you may NOT have given them a second look. You would have never had the opportunity to know the person on the inside.

I have met many people on ICQ, the web and in Real Life who have postively touched my heart in many ways. I am a better person because of their Special Friendship. :-) Though we are miles apart, I can feel their warmth of Love, Hugs, and Support as if they were standing here beside me.

What a "Grand World" it would be if the whole world could be touched like this and get to know each other in ways they would never have thought possible. Maybe, just maybe, there would be no wars and no hungry people starved for affection.

The next time you pass someone -- Don't judge them by how they look or how they act -- Just turn to that person and give them a smile and some words of encouragement. Touch their soul and reap the rewards of unconditional friendship.

Friends Touchin' Friends

Friends reaching out
And touching friends
With a smile and encouragement
Are Special friends
Giving unconditional support;
Listening with their eyes;
Talking with their fingers;
Sending warm, embracing hugs
Via the Internet and ICQ
To fill our days with sunshine
On those cloudy, cold, stressful days.
One person can touch another
And make a difference in their Life.
It only takes a warm {{Hug}},
A Smile, and a Kind word.
Though we've never met
The warmth from your words
And the smiley face w/{{HUGS}}
Is felt as it brightens and fills the day
With Sunshine and Smiles.
