Dear Friends,

Although you are a friend of mine
and letters we exchange,
I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?

You hold a place within my life,

unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.

I picture what I think you are,

perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.

So for this friendship we possess,

we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met. 
 {author unknown}


I thought this poem was very fitting for how I feel about ALL of you! 
I consider you all my friends...yet...we have never met 
{well...most of us haven't...}

SO today I want to get to know YOU more! 
leave me a comment and tell me where YOU are from and ONE fact about you!!!
