Little Did I Know

for Sarah B.

Little did I know when we met how much

You would come to mean any day we meet;

Your presence such pleasure a gentle touch

That no day now without you seems complete;

I can’t imagine how I lived before

Having heard your voice crow out “Knob Creek neat!”

And watched you walk across the patio floor,

The way you hold back smiles as our eyes meet.

When we met I had no idea how

Much you would mean in little ways, each day

All these things, growing larger to me now

Than anyone before, in every way,

That so much I know certainly is true:

This life means more to me since I met you.
