Reading – A Dog’s Prayer

O Lord of all creatures, grant that man, my master,
be as faithful to others as I am to him.

Make him as loving towards his family and friends
as I am loving to him.
Grant that he may guard with honesty
the good things with which Thou has endowed him
as honestly as I guard his.
Give him, O Lord, a happy and ready smile,
as happy and spontaneous as the wagging of my tail.
Make him as ready to show gratitude
as I am eager to lick his hand.
Give him patience as great as mine
when I await his return without complaining.
Grant him my courage and my readiness to sacrifice all for him,
even my own life.
May he possess my youthful spirit and joy of thought.
O Lord of all creatures, as I am in truth only a dog,
may my master always be truly a man.

Poem – The Creation

When God had made the earth and sky
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds and bees.

And when at last He’d finished
not one was quite the same.
He said, “I’ll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name.”

And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it’s strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth
and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said, “Dear Lord,
there’s not one left for me.”

Kindly the Father said to him,
“I’ve left you to the end.
I’ve turned my own name back to front
and called you dog, My friend.”
