             My Canine Soulmate...How Did You Know?
           For Misty Blue
        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?
