This, the spirit of Christmas,

that I wish to share with you

Brings memories of our friendship

that will last the whole year through.

Your name I keep within my heart,

and it shall never leave.

As I reflect on days gone by,

and now it's Christmas Eve.

A special time for everyone,

both near and far away.

As we recall sweet memories,

on this our Christmas Day.

Whether I have known you,

many years or just a few.

You always are a part of me,

in shaping what I do.

And so I send this Christmas card,

that is addressed to you.

To bring you love throughout the year,

in everything you do.

May this day be filled with blessings,

sent from Jesus up above,

And may you feel the power,

of His eternal love.
