Could
we be standing behind a virtual friendship,
A here and now implied reality,
Looking in upon the light, or are 'we' really
real?
Might you merely be a cyber name,
A secret, so I don't know who you are,
Nor see truly how you feel?
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
Do we care in present essence,
To all intents and purposes-
And are our feelings genuine to last.
Would you fret if I type unprofessionally
To communicate my heart.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
Do you think about vague social standings
Or on character that shines...
Potentially Divine, and
If you knew all my quirks and faults
Would you truly be a friend of mine.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
In seeing, might you ponder on appearance
Or what is in my soul
And practically, the more,
Would you rather be deleting all my sends
And not open them at all.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
Can you understand my life
Is it possible to care-
Effectually, from beyond the glass,
Are my important events tangible
That you can always share.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
If I climbed upon a lofty height
Or collapsed within a valley deep
Unacknowledged,
Can you be here, to congratulate
Or yet so softly weep.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
Are we then connected for a reason,
A plan beyond eternity,
Chosen for a purpose,
Spoken forth from ages past
For what our God has meant to be.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
Are we so laid upon each other's hearts
As friends to bear in prayer
Compassionately aware,
Near of soul to uplift and encourage
In everything we share.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
When my emails come into your box
Are you delighted then to see
'Me', implicitly,
The same as if I arrived at your door
For a friendly cup of tea.
![](Are_You_Virtually_A_Friend_files/adorno6.jpg)
So tell me of a truth dear one,
Is our cyber friendship really real?
For I feel it, true, constant, touchable,
Not an escaping of life's reality-
Nor a virtual sweeter deal...
Every day, without end, I thank God
You are my forever friend.

You may be only one person
in the world,
but you may also be the world
to one person.
