I Have a Friend

I have a friend...
That lives far away
Though too distant to be seen,
And too far to be heard,
She brightens my day
Via the typed word.

I have a friend...
Daily we gossip, listen, and jive,
Even with her not here,
I know she is out there,
Very real, well, and alive!

I have a friend...
That deals with a lot
When she hurts, I hurt
In more ways than I thought.

I have a friend...
Whom never might I see,
But she is a friend,
That means so much to me.
