Spirit Sister

                The internet has created wonderful opportunities to meet vibrant new people.

                I cherish these new friends as much as my old friends.

                You make my life more fulfilled, though we chat through wires.

                I am so glad to have met you my dear friend.

5              Though we haven’t met in real life, you are my sister.

                Your words of wisdom have found a home in my soul.

                I will remember and value the counsel you have given me.

                You are an angel on the ‘net with golden fiber-optic wings.

                In this cyber-world we’ve created, you rise above the rest.

10           Though we haven’t met in real life, you are my sister.

                I picture you floating in the heavenly blue sky, typing.

                The sun gently warming you, with just a trickle of breeze,

                Sitting cross-legged on a fluffy white cloud, keyboard on your lap,

                Smiling in concentration to pen for others sweet words of inspiration.

15           Though we haven’t met in real life, you are my sister.
