To those who have traveled this year with me

I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book,
And every year when Christmas comes, I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize that these names are a part
Not of the book they’re written in , but of my very 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 really 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 then you think.
For once I’ve met somebody, the years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face.

So never think my Christmas cards are just a mere routine,
Of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in between.
For when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you
It’s because you are on a list of folks I’m indebted to.

For I am but the total of the many folks I’ve met,
And you happen to be one of those I prefer not to forget.
And whether I have known you for many years or a few,
In some way you have had a part in shaping things I do.

And Every year when Christmas comes, I realize anew
The best gift life can offer is meeting folks like you.
And may the Spirit of Christmas that forever endures.
Leave Its richest blessings in the hearts of You and Yours…

I just want to thank those who have helped me and been there with me on the rollarcoaster this year has been. I couldn’t have held it together as well without you.

You have my thanks and love,
Wendilynn
