My Special List

I have 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 it sounds fantastic...
for me to make this claim,
I really am composed...
of each remembered name.



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 send a greeting...
that is addressed to you,
it is because you're on the list...
of folks I'm indebted to.



So whether I have known 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.






Some say that angels come from God,
Borne here on wings snow white,
To touch some human being's life
While on their heavenly flight.



That may be true, for so it seems
To happen, now and then.
Some heavenly being reaches down
To touch the hearts of men.



But there's another kind of gift
That comes from God to men.
It happens when a human heart
Is filled with love again.



And this can happen any time,
On any given day,
If human hearts will hear love's call
And let love have its way.



But human hearts are often shy,
And fear what men would say.
They also fail to see how love
Could use them in this way.



And so they miss the chance to be
Somebody's Angel when
A caring word, a thoughtful deed
Would've brought love back again.



So listen, friend, and heed love's call
To help someone in need.
Somebody's Angel, on this day,
Just may be you or me.
