ON-LINE MOM

No family ties between us
Web-connected with great love
My adopted on-line mother
A gift sent from heaven above

Her own live such a struggle
Her children lost and wild
But I’m so glad she made me
Her adopted on-line child

Keeps my secrets hidden
Tells me truth I need to hear
Strong to give me disipline
Gentle to calm my fear

Each night se checks up on me
Every day she leaves some space
To see if I am soaring high
Or had fallen on my face

So here’s to you, my on-line mom
I raise a glass in cheer
May we never part our ways
But draw closer year by year

May al the love you sent my way
Be returned a hundred fold
And may all your dreams come true
Before your story’s told

But most of all, my on-line mom
May I be able to give in part
All the love, hope, and caring
That you have given free to me
That came from within your heart
