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,
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!
