My Special List 

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 the heart. 

For each Name stands for someone...who has crossed my path sometime, 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! 


THIS WAS SENT TO ME BY A VERY DEAR FRIEND
