I dedicate this to "Ma Geri" my cyber mom who passed away on August 14th 2002.

 

I wrote a message in a bottle,
Then through it out into the cyber sea.
I asked god to send it to someone special,
I asked him to let it bring a friend to me.
~
Then one day it happened,
I got a message in return.
A letter from a special lady.
We had so much to learn.
~
We became e-mail pals.
We wrote letters and sent greetings.
We learned more about each other.
We became friends without meeting.
~
She became very dear to me.
We were more like family before long.
I worried when I didn’t hear from her.
She knew when something was wrong.
~
Now she calls me her Angel Daughter.
I call her my cyber Ma.
She has a wonderful husband,
I call him my cyber Pa.
~
I was blessed by a message in a bottle.
God sent me more then just friends.
He gave me a cyber family.
Ones i’ll cherish till the end.
