upon this list of mine
somewhere our paths have crossed
in another place and time
Perhaps it was years ago
or only yesterday
but every person on my list
has changed my life someway
A simple hug or conversation
a friendly smile or meal
a spoken prayer to God above
has helped me grow and heal
Perhaps God went through you
and wove his magic twine
in some small or kindly deed
to touch this heart of mine
You wished the gray clouds away
and prayed for rain instead
I raised my eyes to heaven
and found a rainbow overhead
Worldly things that trouble me
just seems to disappear
knowing you are always there
across the miles or near
You restore my faith, love and hope
a bond that will never cease
so many wonderful family and friends
brings to me an inner peace
Each day my list continues to grow
and each name I hold so dear
each one has brought Christmas joy
everyday of the year
This Christmas Card I give to you
is more than just a wish
it's a thank you to God above
for putting you on my list
