LETTER TO MY FRIEND

SUBMITTED BY LACEY

I HAVE A LIST OF FOLKS I KNOW,
ALL WRITTEN IN A BOOK.
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN,
I GO TO 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'VE 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 HAVE 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
WITH THE LINES 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.

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.
