I never heard you til
I heard the kindness
in your voice
Never knew your compassion
til you cared for me in
sickness
Never saw the beauty in you
til you sacrificed your desires
for another
Never saw your patience til you
weathered my angry storms
Never knew you cared til you
visted me in jail
Never knew your faith til I
found you praying on your
knees
Never knew your mind til I
saw the wisdom in your
character
Never knew your touch til you
quelled my haunting fears
Never knew your kiss til
it dried these lonely tears~
