"SNOWYGAL"
There is a list of folks I know,
All written in a book;
And every year at Christmas time,
I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize,
That those names are a part,
Not of the book they're written in,
But of my very heart.
For each name stands for someone
Who has touched my life sometime;
And in that meeting they've become,
The "Rhythm and the Rhyme."
I really feel I am composed,
Of each remembered name;
And while you may not be aware
Of feeling quite the same,
My life is so much better
Than it was before you came.
For once that you have known someone,
The years cannot erase,
The memory of a pleasant word,
Or of a friendly face.
So never think my Christmas cards
Are just a mere routine,
Of the names upon a list,
Forgotten in between.
For when I send a Christmas card
That is addressed to you,
It is because you're on that list,
Of folks I'm indebted to.
And whether I have known you
For many years or few,
In some way you have had a part
In shaping things I do.
So every year when Christmas comes,
I realize anew ...
One of the biggest gifts that God can give
Is knowing folks like you!
