I did wonder if it was genuine but couldn't be bothered "Snopes-ing" for it hence I didn't post up the entire mail and said author unknown. It's a lovely sentiment though regardless of how it's been hijacked. I'll edit the title to credit the right person now I know, thanks Michelle! funny you should say that….

In fact, the poem was written by David L. Weatherford and published under his name in 1991, long before the chain letter existed. If you google his name you'll get the song with his name under. It's a beautiful poem but for me, slightly tainted by the hoax mail association.
