When I Got My Dog

I asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly,
I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats.

I asked for good health that I might rest easy,
I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nurturing.

I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud,
I was given stubbornness that I might feel humble.

I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful,
I was given a clown that I might laugh.

I asked for a companion that I might not feel alone,
I was given a best friend that I might feel loved.

I got nothing I asked for,
But everything I need.
