Patience and Tolerence

Cat Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For windowsills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule
To NEVER tell a human that
The world is really ruled by CATS!

GOD’S BEST

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

And when his work was finished,
Not one was quite the same.
He said, “I’ll walk this earth of mine
And give each one a name”.

And so he traveled land and sea,
And everywhere he went,
One little creature followed him
Until his strength was spent.

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

The father smiled and softly said,
“I’ve left you to the end,
“I’ve turned my own name back to front,
And called you ‘Dog’ my friend”.
