Reaching across the world
For its that time of the year
To send seasons greetings
With a heart warming cheer

So as I looked up to the sky
Choosing the brightest star
I wished joy and happiness
For my friends near and far

Friends I want to thank you
So no matter how far apart
I wished you peace and love
In this special heart to heart

For the bonds of friendship
My appreciation is sincere
In wishing heartfelt harmony
All through this coming year 2009.....
