How can you know when I am lonesome
If my heart requires some filling,
How do you know the right time
Unless somehow you're always willing.

I see you pausing in your busy day
To listen overflowing with care,
And open up your loving heart
To softly whisper secret prayers.

My name must flash before you
As you feel such tugging in your soul,
To know that I was hurting
Then pray that I'd be whole.

When God brought me to you
I didn't go away without,
For you sought of the Lord's comfort
To soothe all of my doubt.

You asked Him for more courage
For the need of my aching heart,
And in my coming to God through you
He kept me on His path.

So, how do I find the words
To thankyou for your gentle nudge,
But to send you this basket of roses
Wrapped in the warmest hug.

Insomuch as any one pushes you nearer to God, he or she is your truest friend.
