Composing
(for AMG)

I got your card and gift last Friday.

"You shouldn't have," would be a socially acceptable response, but
who am I to say what you should do?

    (Who am I to be socially acceptable?)

"It's too much," might be good, but 
it's not too much, really ... a lot, but not too much.

    (Who am I to say what's too much for you?)

So I sit here, trying to say "Thank you" some other way, because
"Thank you" doesn't seem enough to say. But 
it is enough, isn't it? Between us?

    (Who am I to have such a friend?)

Thank you.
