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 are written
in, but really
of my heart
For each name
stands for
someone who has
crossed my path
sometime,
And in the
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
than you think
For once I've
met somebody,
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
Christmas list,
forgotten in
between,
For when I send
a Christmas card
that is
addressed to
you,
It is because
you're on the
list that I'm
indebted to
For I am but a
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 ways you
have a part in
shaping things I
do
And every year
when Christmas
comes, I realize
anew,
The best gifts
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
