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 my heart.
For each name stands for someone
Who has crossed my path some time,
And in that meeting they've 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 meeting you has shaped my life..
More than you could ever 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's because you're on that list
Of folks I'm indebted to.
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,
And you are one I would prefer..
Never to forget.
Thank you for being my friend.
