Holiday Wishes to all
no matter what belief or persuasion you are of
and
A Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year in 2007
THOUGHTS TO BE SHARED
I have a list of folks I know, all written
in a book,
And every year at Holiday time, I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize that these names are a part
Not only 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 am composed of EACH REMEMBERED NAME.
And you may not be aware of any "special link"
But just meeting you has shaped my life
more than you can 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 Holiday cards are a mere routine
Of names upon a list, forgotten in between,
For when I send a card addressed to you
it's because you're on a list of folks I' m so 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
never to forget.
And, whether I have known you for many years or few,
in some way you have had a part of shaping things I do.
And every year when the Holidays come, I realize anew
THE BEST GIFT LIFE CAN GIVE IS MEETING
FOLKS LIKE YOU.
May the Spirit of the Holidays forever endures, leave its richest
blessings in the heart of
You and Yours
