You

You make me want to sing
Even when I don't know the words
You make me want to dance
Even when I don't know the steps

You tell me a story
Without saying a word
You tell me I'm beautiful
Without knowing what you've said

You brighten my day
When everyone else has passed me by
You open doors and break down walls
When everyone else has given me reason to build more

You have brought hope
Back to where there was dispair
You have brought joy
Back to where there was sadness

You have made life
Fun to live again
You have made conversation
Fun to participate in

You have become a best friend
At the time I needed one the most
You have become a faith partner
When faith was diminished

You have become all these things
If only I could tell you face to face
You have become all these things
If only I knew your side of the story
