As the holiday season does approach
There are things that we like to do or say
For the season makes us giddy with joy
Wishing all who come to pass a good day
But with or without this annual season
There are those who always make us smile
For all the days and weeks that follow
We need to be reminded to pause for a while
Most of us could go ages or even lives
Without finding someone special like you
Someone who brings a brightness to our day
Despite the tribulations that we’ve been through
So it is with great fortune and luck
That you are sitting just right across the hall
For when I need take a break from my duties
I simply need to open my door and call
While our discussions seem light and good natured
They set the beat for fun and things that are good
Bringing sanity back to a world full of problems
Enabling me to put things in perspective as I should
It is now during this special season as I stop and reflect
Especially for all those I’ve had the pleasure of meeting
That I thank you for your good mornings and conversation
And for listening to stories I’m sure I just keep repeating
I wish you and yours much luck and happiness
As this season fills us all with joy and cheer
May you always achieve success and good fortune
The spirit of the holidays extending from year to year
During these holidays I’ll raise my glass
As I toast to all those I loved and knew
I’ll drink to peace and good will toward man
And give thanks that I had the chance to meet you
