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?"
