Although I Never Knew You
   by Evalyn Rose

You made such a difference
Everything you did.
You might see it as nothing, 
Perhaps it could be everything.

In some way, shape, or form 
you have touched me in my heart.
Maybe I saw your happiness 
while passing on the street;
I could be thinking 
I want happiness just like yours.
And from you I learn how to be happy.

You teach me so much, 
Even though I may never hear
a word from your mouth.
I understand you are special,
and you now make me better with your
life-long lessons 
that you never meant to teach me.
