I didn't know I'd had such need
Until you came to me
I never knew how lonesome 'twas
Until you came to be
I couldn't know how dim was day
Until you came to stay
Now much more has opened up
It feels like spring will stay
I didn't know to miss the laughter
Until you showed me how
I never missed the smiles
But, I know them now
I didn't know there even was
Such friendship true
Until God opened wide the door
And standing there, was you
Now I see with such different view
I thank God for all you are
You bring me more than I ever knew
You, love from the heart

Poetry From The Heart
How rare and wonderful
is that flash in the moment when we
realize we have discovered a friend.
