The Gift of You

The gift of you, you gave to me The unfolding of what you possessed Revealing kindness, truth, and love You freely gave with wisdom's best Softly spoken with words direct You guided well and so did teach Me where to walk where there was light And how to step ahead and reach Gentle and caring with added respect Well spoken with words you weren't at a loss With time I had said, "I too can be!" You nodded, you smiled, and you showed me the Cross I want to repay you, to say thank you aloud So I kneeled before Him and I asked this from God As always He answered, a message He did send. So may I ask one thing further, "May I call you friend?" Brenda Elizabeth Rose
