A Cry in the Night

I heard his cry in the night,
The pain he felt was deep and real;
But what my heart couldn't know,
Was the emotions I was soon to feel.

His heart had been shattered,
He was torn and confused;
His soul felt battered,
He felt betrayed, beaten and used.

He was such a sweet, giving soul,
His pain I could feel;
His torn and broken heart,
I wanted so much to heal.

We talked and we cried,
We laughed and we prayed;
We each discussed work,
And many times we played.

A tiny seed was planted,
Our friendship is a bond;
We've come to know each other well,
And of each have become fond.

This tiney seed is spreading roots,
The vines are growing above;
And once we have met each other,
Our hearts may find true love.
