Thank You For Being My Friend

by

C. E. Chandler

I have a list of folks I know all written in a book,
and now and then I stop and take a look.

That is when I realize that these names are a part,
not of the book they're written in but taken from the heart.

Each name stands for someone who crossed my path sometime, in that meeting they have 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,
knowing you has 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 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.

Whether I have known you for many days or few,
in some ways you had a part in shaping things I do.

I am but a total of the many folks I've met,
you are a friend I could never forget.

Thank you for being my friend!
