My Special List
I have a list of folks I
know...
all written in a book,
And every now and 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 really am composed...
of each remembered name.
Although you're not aware...
of any special link,
just knowing 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
the 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
and for being there for
me.
