To my Friends
 

This page is for my TRUE friends.  You know who you are.  You have offered me a shoulder to cry on.  You have kicked my ass when  I deserved it.  You have hugged me just because.  This page is for those friends who have stuck by me through  it all, and I must say, all is a hell of a lot.

I want you to know, that without you I would not be here today.  You have kept me level headed.  You have kept me from making many stupid mistakes.  You have let me make the mistakes that would make me a better person, even though it may have hurt.  I cherish, and value your friendships more than anything.  Know that when I say, "I Love You," I mean it with every last beat of my heart.

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...
to never forget!

Thank you for being my friend!
