A Great Many Thanks

To all the people I give thanks,

To friends and family,

Who influence my daily life,

My thanks to you from me.

To special folks with gifts,

Those few atop the batch. 

To all the greats of history

(Whose quotes that I would snatch).

Some may not be here today,

But even though they’re not,

I’d like to make my feelings clear,

I’ll say it—thanks a lot.
