This
Xmas,
I
would
like
to put
up
a tree in my
heart,
and instead
of
hanging presents,
I
would like to put the
names
of all my friends.
Close
friends and not so close
friends.
The old friends the new
friends.
Those that I see every day
and
the ones that I rarely see. The ones
that
I always remember and the ones that
I
sometimes forget. The ones that are always
there
and the ones that seldom are. The friends of
difficult
times and the ones of happy
times. Friends
who,
without meaning to, I have hurt, or, without meaning
to
have hurt me. Those that I know well and those I only know
by
name. Those that owe me little and those that I owe so much.
My
humble friends and my important friends. The names of all those
that
have passed through my life no matter how fleetingly. A tree with
very
deep roots and very long
and
strong branches so that
their
names may never be
plucked
from my heart. So
that
new names from all
over
may join the existing ones. A tree with a very
pleasant
shade so that our friendship may take a
moment
of rest from the battles of life. “May the
happy
moments of Xmas brighten every day of
the
new year”. These are my sincere wishes.
