HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I have a list of people I know, all logged in my computer,
And now at New Year's time I have gone to take a look.
And that is when I realize that these names are a part,
Not of the computer they're stored in, but of my 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 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 than you think!
For when I do a New thing that is addressed to you,
It's because you're on the list of people I'm indebted to .
And whether I have known you for many years or few,
In some way you have been a part of shaping things I do.
And now that New Year has come, I realize anew,
The best gift life can offer is meeting people like you.
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY SUCCESSFUL 2009
