A Pet’s Prayer
Thank you, Lord, each day
For the victuals I am fed
Petting and brushing
And my soft, billowy bed
Thank you for the extra treats
Persistently when I’m good
Especially the catnip
Dusted along the faux wood
Thank you for safe keeping
As I scamper and play
Climbing trees, chasing bugs
During the night and day
Thank you for my humans
So loving and kind
Who clean up my messes
And don’t even mind
After all the thanks
I must surely add
I’m truly feline
For this I am glad
If I should die
And it seem unfair
Please let them know
I’m in Heaven’s care
To them you see
I am their child
They need to know
For me you smile

Awwwww ….
So sweet!
Purrs
I know animals dream, but I’m certain pets rescued from abusive or disastrous situations pray to some extent for their salvation. They’re very sentient beings.
So very sweet!
