I did not know I thirsted, before you brought me drink.
A world of hidden, secret thoughts, was all that I could think.
The bread of your companionship has filled me to the core,
And now I think I understand what friendship is here for.

My world was one of loneliness. Am I the only one?
But with your cheery friendship, I learned there could be fun.
I cast my seeds in wider ways than I have ever known,
And send the net out presently, to draw in what I’ve sown.

My world has grown, and joy has found a way to get inside.
I had no thought that I would find the world become my bride.
My heart has also swelled in scope, a garden lives there now.
And all these things occurred to me, because of you, somehow.

My friends who touch me with their words, can reach into my heart,
And find a way to thrill my soul, that I’ve become a part,
Of something bigger than myself, a movement grand and slow,
More ponderous and possible than what I thought I’d know.
