“A Dogs Prayer”

Dear Lord, hear my puppy prayer,

I’m a dog, and my prayer is rare.

I want to pray;

For my Master, today.

He left me today all alone;

I’m not yet full grown.

I heard Him talking the other day;

He needed some kind of surgery today.

I whimper to you, please pull Him through;

I love my Master, I really do.

I’d miss him dearly; I’d miss our walks,

I’d miss my Master, and puppy talks.

I’d miss the special food he makes me;

I love those treats also; he makes you see.

Most of all, Lord, I’d miss my companion for life;

See, my Master, he has no companion wife.

His wife died; now he only has wee little me.

I’m begging—hear this prayer, you above the tree;

Please let my master live;

So, my love, I can always give.

Thank you for listening to my puppy prayer;

I’m so grateful you listen; I pray you really care.

Cause dogs don’t say prayers,

About their Masters, who are ill and care.

Amen
