I was giving thanks for special people in my life and these words came to me.

I’m thinking today of those folks
who somehow have entered my life.
They appear in the strangest ways
in good times as well as in strife.

Some people I have met on line
and other moves into my block.
People I’ve met at a cafe
and others are part of my flock.

There are many people each day
so why do these people stand out?
Why do some people pass right through
while friendship in others will sprout?

They become much more than a face --
take their place as a great treasure
remain as a big part of life
and they give me so much pleasure.

Sometimes I have so much to give
and sometimes I simply receive.
Such give and take is part life
at least that is what I believe.

So today I simply thank God
there is nothing less I could do.
And if you are one of these folks
I also express thanks to you.
