While surfing on the net last year, I came across a site,

Beautifully designed with special poems that made my day so bright.

The poems were all so wonderful; they were written from the heart.

I felt a special camaraderie with the poet right from the start.

I knew she had to be “special” for the words she wrote were so sweet.

If you’ve never visited her wonderful site, you are missing a special treat.

You can almost feel the warmth and glow of the words that flow from her pen.

You get a glimpse of her heart and soul for she expresses it from within.

My talent for writing was nothing like hers, but my poems came from my heart.

I wanted to share my faith in Christ and through poems I could do my part.

I sat down one day and wrote her a note and asked if she’d help me out,

She graciously agreed to work with me; I was so happy I wanted to shout.

I know not a thing about web work, such as backgrounds, graphics and codes.

But she is so understanding and kind, and she has the patience of Job.

She created for me a beautiful site, and she does all those computer things.

I tell her she’s one of God’s angels since at times I sense angel wings.

I have yet to meet her in person, and I have never heard her voice.

But I know when she came into my life that God had made a good choice.

She is kind, considerate and loving, and she is one of my dearest friends.

You don’t have to meet someone in person for a true friendship to begin.

So to you, Ruth Ann, my lovely friend, I thank you for all your help.

I’ve told you a little about my life, and all of my secrets you’ve kept.

Your prayers, your concern, your uplifting words have meant so very much.

Though many miles separate us, my friend, I can still feel your loving touch.
