Ode to my email friend

Ode to my email friend

My spirit leaps in joy.
It's another message from my email friend.
we talk about things we both love.
We speak of things we both seek.

We assist each other whenever possible.
We are sensitive to each other's feelings,
yet we are always honest,
maybe even blunt
.
We occasionally disagree about matters.
This never puts a distance between us.
Each of us knows the needs of the other when only a hint is given.

I see my email friend as if I were in their place.
We accept each other as well as ourselves.
We never say to each other, "You should not have done that".
Rather we comfort each other and help each other through difficult times.
For we both desire happiness for the other.

We hide nothing of ourselves from each other.
We are true to each other as we are true to ourselves.
We are always kind and gentle with each other.
And we share equally our joys in life.
