My Faceless Friends

This message was posted elsewhere and I thought it was worth spreading around. There is not enough love in this world so we should enjoy and appreciate what and where we can. Many of you have offered your support and friendship to CTH members during happy and sad times. Rock on, my friends.

MY FACELESS FRIENDS

Your face, your smile, I have never seen,
I don't know the color of your skin.
Your voice and laughter I have never heard,
I don't know if it is soft or loud.

Your hugs I have never felt,
I don't know the strength of your arms.
Your hand I have never touched,
I don't know if it is calloused and worn.

But, to me you are my friend,
Dearer and Sweeter than many I've found.
The question came to me, "How can that be?"
You don't know a face, a touch or a sound.

But is it the physical nature of a person
That causes me to call you my friend,
Or the feel of a touch or the strength of a hug?
I don't need those for you to be my friend.

You have shared with me words of strength,
At times I have felt weak and worn,
You have brought to me a smile, a laugh,
Uplifting me and bringing me joy.

You have bent your ear to me and listened,
Then gently guided and directed me with your words.
You have hugged me tight and wiped my tears,
Then generously gave to me above and beyond.

You are more to me than words on a screen,
For behind those words is a person who cares,
A person with feelings, a tear and a laugh,
Who holds my mind safe and secure.

For even though I don't know your face or touch,
I feel and see you in my mind.
You have been all to me that I needed you to be,
Now and Forever within my Heart..
MY FACELESS FRIEND!
