Did You Know?

Did you know you were brave,

Did you know you were strong,

Did you know there was one leaning hard?

Did you know that I waited,

And listened and prayed,

And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed

For that smile on your face,

For the sound of your voice ringing true?

Did you know I grew stronger and better,

Because I have merely been friends with you?

Life has no blessing
like a caring friend!

Those who bring sunshine into
the lives of others,
Cannot keep it from themselves.
