Who Would Have Known?*

Who would have known that frogs croak louder when it rains?
Who would have known that cats "neeeow", instead of meow when their hungry?
Who would have known that if I went to bed at 11 pm, that I'd be wide awake at 3 am?
Who would have known that pain increases when it's cold outside?
Who would have known that when a cat wants fresh food, she'll let you know at 3am?
Who would have known that if you don't care at 3 am, the cat will "neeeow" louder?
Who would have known that a neighbor cat would come in the house and eat the cat food?
Who would have known that just when you think you have drowned out the noise of the frog sounds outside, that the rain makes them ribit louder?
Who would have known that the more I am allergic to this cat, the more it loves me?
Who would have known that if I take 2 doses of allergy medicine, I would have severe pain?
Who would have known that the cat will just sit by me and purr?
Who would have known that I love the cat and the cat loves me?
Who would have known that it's not good to give the cat too much cat nip?
Who would have known that frogs are quieter during the day; and amplified at night?
Who would have known that I had a hidden fear of frogs that I didn't know about? 
Who would have known that humming birds fascinate me and remind me of God's love?
Who would have known that they're beautiful creatures and I can watch them for hours?
Who would have known that I would have an adventurous time house-sitting?
Who would have known that I'd be writing about frogs, cats, and humming birds?
Who would have known that known I am exhausted and I think I will sleep?
Who would have known that half of the world is waking up right now while I will go back to bed?
Who would have known? 
Not I,
Until now.
