From Aussie Annie & Quickstep..........

[Aussie Annie]

I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book

And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look

And that is when I realise that those names are a part -

Not of the book they are written in, but of my very heart.

 

 

For each name stands for someone who has touched my life sometime,

And left such a print of friendship that they are good friends of mine.

And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim

I really feel I am composed of each remembered name.

 

 

And while you may not be aware of any special link,

Just knowing you has shaped my life more than you can think.

For once you’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 am indebted to.

 

 

For one is but a total of the many folks they’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 few,

In some way you have had a part in shaping things I do.

 

 

And every year when Christmas comes, I realise anew -

The biggest gift life can give is knowing folks like you!!

And may the spirit of Christmas that eternally endures,

Leave its richest blessing in the hearts of you and yours.

 

 

Merry Christmas Everyone
