Friends
by Keith Greenfield
Welcome to Coffee & Conversation
We are a family of friends
Born in cyberspace
Brought together by the sound of individual voices
In conversation and laughter
We sleep and wake up in different time zones
In countries all around the world
Like a band of brothers and sisters
We care for each other
Sharing each others joys and pain
To comfort members of our family
Who need our support?
Is what a family is all about?
To confide in our friends and be sure
Of their support and endless caring
Is true friendship that is a gift?
That is given freely and without any thought of personal gain
As we make new friends our family grows
And we can give our support and advice to those who need it
This gift of friendship we can pass on to others
And so our cyber family will grow
And maybe just maybe it will make this world
A better place because of our sharing
We can all laugh and even cry
But this wonderful friendship will never die
This is a legacy we can pass on
For without our dear friends
Our lives are worthless
And we are nothing
