A Pet's Prayer

My people are so precious, Lord;
I know You think so, too.
And I believe You put me here
To love them just for You!

They take such gentle care of me,
And have such tender hearts,
Please use me Lord, to comfort them
Whenever teardrops start.

They face a lot of battles,
As they live and work each day...
They need me Lord,
To make them smile
And show them how to play!

The world is full of people,
But sometimes real friends are few...
Please let my love and loyalty,
Remind them, Lord, of You.

And when my final moment comes,
Lord, tell them as we part:
I was a made-to-order gift
From Your great loving heart.

able to feel love and gratitude, then animals are better
off than some humans are. ~James Herriot
