A Little Christmas Message

I received this message from a company my husband and I do business with and thought it was relevant as I send out a lot of messages to my "distro" lists, friends and family over the holiday....

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE........
We have a list of people we know, all logged in our computer,
And now at Christmas time we have gone to take a look.
And that is when we realize that these names are a part,
Not of the computer they're stored in, but of our heart.

For each name stands for someone who has crossed our path sometime,
And in that meeting they've become the rhythm in each rhyme.
And while it sounds fantastic for us to make this claim,
we feel that we're composed of each remembered name.

And while you may not be aware of any special link,
Just meeting you has changed our lives, a lot more than you think.
For when we do a Christmas E-mail that is addressed to you,
It's because you're on the list of people we're indebted to.

And whether we have known you for many years or few,
In some way you have been a part of shaping things we do.
And now that Christmas has come, we realize anew,
The best gift life can offer is meeting people like you.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
