I've a list of folks I know,
All written in a book,
And every now and then,
I go and take a look.

That is when I realize
these names ,they are a part,
not of the book they're written in,
but taken from the heart.

For each Name stands for someone,
who has crossed my path sometime,
and in that meeting they have become
the reason and the rhyme.

Although you're not aware
of any special link
just knowing you, has shaped my life
more than you could think.

So please don't think my greeting
as just a mere routine,
your name was not
forgotten in between,

For when I sen a greeting
that is addressed to you
It is because you're in the list
of folks I'm indebted to.

So whether I have know you
for many days or few,
in some ways you have a part
in shaping things I do

I am but a total
of many folks I've met,
you are a friend I would prefer
never to forget

Thank you for being my friend .
