Thinking Of You
Someone said, each of us is the sum total of our experiences.
And certainly the people we meet are a big part of those experiences.
__________________________________________
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.
