And every year at Christmas we go and take a look, And that is when we realize that these names are a part, Not of the book they're written in, but of our very hearts. For every name is someone whose path touched ours and then They left a print of friendship that we want to touch again, And while this sounds fantastic for us to make a claim, We really feel we are composed of each remembered name. So never think our Christmas cards are just a mere routine Of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in-between, For when we send a Christmas card that is addressed to you, It's because you're on that list of folks we feel indebted to. And every year when Christmas comes, we realize anew, The biggest gift life can give is knowing 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. Anonymous The background is a MacDonald Dress Tartan. |
