We have
a list of folks we know, all written in a book,
And every year at Christmas time, we go and take a look.
And that is when we realize, that these names are all a part,
Not of the book they're written in, but are nestled in our
hearts.
For each
name stands for someone, who has crossed our path sometime,
And in the meeting they've become the rhythm of the rhyme.
And while it sounds fantastic, for us to make this claim,
We really feel we are composed of each remembered name.
And while
you may not be aware of any special link,
Just meeting you has shaped our lives more than you can think.
For once you've met somebody, the years cannot erase,
The memory of a pleasant word, or of a friendly face.
So never
think our Christmas greeting, is just a mere routine,
Of names upon a list, forgotten in between.
For when we send a Christmas greeting, that is addressed to
you,
It's because you're on the list of folks we are indebted to.
For we
are but a total of the many folks we've met,
And you happen to be one of those, we prefer not to forget,
And whether we have known you, for many days or few,
In some way you have had a part, in shaping things we do.
And every
year when Christmas comes, we realize anew,
The biggest gift that life can give, is meeting folks like
you.
And may the spirit of Christmas, that forever and ever endures,
Leave its richest blessings, in the hearts of you and yours.
We truly
wish, that your Christmas be more than just a season,
and joy and peace more than just words.
Yours, in a shared journey of faith and Christian love,
