My Christmas Emails


My Christmas Emails
I have a list of folks I know 
all written my computer data base. 
And every year at Christmas time, 
I go and take a look at my data base. 
And that is when I realize 
that these names are a part.... 
Not in the data base they are written in 
but of my very heart.

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 whether I have known you 
for many years or a few hours 
In some way you have had a part 
of shaping things I do.

So never think my Christmas Emails 
are just a mere routine 
of names put on a computer list 
and forgotten in between. 
For when I send a Christmas Email 
that is addressed to you... 
It is because you're on that list of folks 
that I'm indebted to.
