A Christmas Poem

There is a list of folks I know
All written in a book,
And every year at Christmas time
I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize that
These name's are a part
Not of the book they're written in
But of my very heart.

For each name stands for someone
Who has touched my life sometime,
And in that meeting they've become
The "Rhythm of the Rhyme".
I really feel I am composed
Of each remembered name,
And while you may not be aware,
Of feeling quite the same
My life is so much better
Than it was before you came.

For once that you have known someone
The years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant word
Or of a friendly face.
So never think my Christmas Cards
Are just a mere routine
Of names upon a list, forgotten
In between.
For when I sent a Christmas Card
That is addressed to you
It is because you're on that list
Of folks I'm indebted to.

And whether I've known you
For many years or few,
In some way you have had a part
In shaping things I do.
So every year when Christmas comes
I just realize anew
The biggest gift that God can give
Is knowing folks like you!
