How Did You Know?
by Terri Onorato
How did you know something was missing?
How did you know I needed you?
Were you so sure we'd fit together?
Weren't you afraid I wouldn't do?
How did you know my patience level
Was the cause for such dismay?
What fateful process brought you to me
That I might learn to change my ways?
What force beyond my knowledge
Left you here so masterfully?
Did God know that I was failing
At the life He gave to me?
Why is it you're not angry
As how my past has treated you?
Is there a lesson in your forgiveness
That I should grasp and hold onto?
How can you love me without condition,
Aware my lessons aren't complete?
Will you stick by me as I continue
To absorb the things you teach?
Did God tell you I was sinking
When He placed you in my life?
Or did you pick me above all others,
A willing sacrifice?
Do you know that my heart yearns
To be a better friend to you?
Will you share with me your wisdom
Teach me to love the way you do?
My sweetest canine soulmate
Will your insight you bestow?
And answer just one question,
Please tell me friend, how did you know?
