Christmas Greetings



I have a list of people

All written in a book -

And every year at Christmas time

I go and take a look.





And that is when I realize

That those names are all 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 some time -

And in that meeting they've become

A treasured friend of mine.





And once you've met some people

The years can not erase -

The memory of a pleasant word

Or of a friendly face.


So when I send an email

That is addressed to you -

It's because you're on that 'Special List'

Of folk that I'm indebted to.



And you are one of several folk

In times past that I've met -

And happen to be one of those

I don't want ever to forget.



And whether I have known you

For many years or few -

In some way you have had a part

In shaping things I do.



So this the Spirit of Christmas

That forever still endures -

May it leave its richest blessing

In the hearts of you and yours.
