I have a list of
people I know,
all in my email address book,
And now at Christmas time
I have gone to take a look.
And that is when I
realize
these names... they are a part,
Not of the PC they're stored in,
but taken from my heart.
For each name stands
for someone
who has crossed my path sometime,
And in that meeting they've become
the rhythm in each rhyme.
And while it sounds
fantastic
for me to make this claim,
I feel that I'm composed
of each remembered name.
And while you may
not be aware
of any special link,
Just meeting you has changed my life,
a lot more than you think!
For once I have met
somebody,
the years cannot erase,
The memory of a pleasant word
of an E-mail or a friendly face.
So never think my
Christmas E-mails
are just a mere routine,
Of names upon an address list,
forgotten in between.
For when I do a
Christmas E-mail
that is addressed to you,
It's because you're on the list
of people I'm indebted to.
And whether I have
known you
for many years or few,
In some way you have been a part
of shaping things I do.
And now that
Christmas has come,
I realize anew,
The best gift life can offer
is meeting people like you
