My
Special List
I have
a list of folks I know...
all
written in a book,
and
every now nd then...
I go
and take a look.
That
is when I realize
these
names...they are a part,
not
of the book they're written in...
but
taken from the heart.
For
each name stands for someone...
Who
has crossed my path sometime,
and
in that meeting they have become...
the
reason and the rhyme.
Although
it sounds fantastic...
For
me to make this claim,
I am
really am composed...
Of
each remembered name.
Although
you're not aware...
of
any special link,
Just
meeting you has shaped my life...
more
than you could think.
So
please don't think my greeting...
as
just a mere routine,
Your
name was not...
forgotten
in between.
For
when I send a greeting...
that
is addressed to you,
It
is because you're on that list...
of
folks I'm indebted to.
So
whether I have known you...
for
many days or few,
In
some ways you have a part...
In
shaping things I do.
I am
but a total...
of
many folks I've met,
you
are a friend I would prefer...
Never
to forget.
Thank
you for being my friend!
