I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book,
And every year when Christmas comes, I go and take a
look.
And that is when I realize that these names are a
part
Not of the book they're written in, but of my very
heart.
For each name stands for SOMEONE who has crossed my path
sometime,
And in that meeting they've become the rhythm in each
rhyme
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this
claim,
I really feel that I'm composed of each remembered
name.
And while you may not be aware of any "special link"
Just meeting you has changed my life a lot more that you
think.
For once I've met somebody, the years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant word or a friendly face.
So never think my Christmas cards are just a mere
routine
Of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in between,
For when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to
you
It's because you are on the list of folks whom I'm
indebted to,
For I am but the total of the many folks I've met
And you happen to be one of those I prefer not to
forget,
And whether I have known you for many years or few,
In some way you have dad a part in shaping the things I
do.
And every year when Christmas comes, I realize anew,
The best gift life can offer is meeting folks like
you!
And may the Spirit of Christmas that forever endures,
Leave its richest blessings in the hearts of you and
yours.
Merry Christmas.
