Dear Tweeters & Birders,
I received this little Poem for Christmas and I like to shear this with you
all.

" Christmas List"
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 realize that this names are a part not of the book
there written in, but of our very heart.
For each name stands for someone who has crossed my path sometime.
And in that meeting they ' become the Rhythm of the Rhyme.
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim,
I really feel composed of EACH REMEMBERED NAME.
And while you may not be aware of any special link,
just meeting you shaped my life more than you can think.
For once 've met some body, the years can't erase
The memories of a pleasant word or of a friendly face
So never think my Christmas greeting is just a mere routine
of names upon a Christmas list forgotten in between.
For when I sent a Christmas list forgotten in between.
For when I sent a Christmas greeting that is addressed to you
It's because you 're on that list of folks I'm indebted to.
For I am but a total of the many folks I' ve met,And you happen to be one
of those
I prefer not to forget.
And weather I have known You for many days or few,
In some way you had a part in I realize anew
THE BIGGEST GIFT live can give is MEETING FOLKS LIKE YOU.
And may the SPIRIT of Christmas That forever and ever endures
Leave its richest blessings in the heart of you and yours
