The Light Of Friendship

I've seen the light
And it's in you,
In everything you are
And in everything you do.
It's a perfect light
That shines for all to see.
It radiates from you
And has pierced the heart of me.
The light is from a friend.
It's a light that keeps me warm.
It lets me know how loved I am,
And keeps me safe from harm.
To you my friend I am thankful,
In each and every way.
For you lift my spirits up,
With every passing day.
To know that you are there for me,
It makes me feel alive.
Because it is your friendship's light,
Upon which my love thrives.
So thank you isn't good enough,
They are the only words I know.
It is your light of friendship,
That gives my world it's glow.
Thanks for sharing your light with me.
For it is the simple things in life that
Are truly unforgettable.

Helloooooo John!

I'm so glad you posted Mr. Richardson's e-mail last night. I sent him a thank you for playing Santa at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. What a wonderful memory for the troops to take back to Iraq.

I received a sweet reply from him this afternoon and he wanted me to let all who serve know that he thinks about them all the time. Since so many come to the Canteen, I thought this would be a good way to let you and the others know. :-)

Mr. Richardson is one of MANY who support the men and women who serve this country and appreciates their efforts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
