A PRAYER FOR ANIMALS |
|
A DOG'S PRAYER
HEAR OUR HUMBLE PRAYER, O GOD,
FOR OUR FRIENDS THE ANIMALS, ESPECIALLY
FOR ANIMALS WHO ARE SUFFERING,
FOR ANY THAT ARE HUNTED OR LOST
OR DESERTED OR FRIGHTENED OR HUNGRY;
FOR ALL THAT MUST BE PUT TO DEATH.
WE ENTREAT FOR THEM ALL THY MERCY AND PITY,
AND FOR THOSE WHO DEAL WITH THEM
WE ASK A HEART OF COMPASSION AND
GENTLE HANDS AND KINDLY WORDS.
MAKE US, OURSELVES, TO BE TRUE
FRIENDS TO ANIMALS AND SO TO SHARE
THE BLESSINGS OF THE MERCIFUL..
You would learn things like
The poems on this page are not mine!
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face
to be pure ecstasy
When it' is in your best interest
practice obedience
Let others know when they've invaded your territory
Take naps and stretch before rising
Run romp and play daily
Thrive on attention and let people touch you
Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do
On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass
On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree
When you're happy dance around and wag your entire body
No matter how often you're scolded
don't buy into the guilt thing and pout
run right back and make friends
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
Stop when you have had enough
Be loyal
Never pretend to be something you re not
If what you want lies buried
dig until you find it
When someone is having a bad day
be silent .....
...sit close by.
...and nuzzle them gently
