The Dog's Prayer

Please God let my master love me As I will always love and will obey him, Let him remember to feed me when I am hungry and thirsty And at his side I will stay! Until the day that my eyes go dim. I will walk with him wherever he will want to go I will always sleep at the foot or at the floor of his bed, We can run and play in his yard, or the park, or in a meadow And I will only eat, after my master has first been fed. True GOD I might have accidents in our home But, at my owner's anger please don't you ever blame, Sometimes he is so busy I am not allowed out to roam So, please put me, and not my master to guilt and shame. I will bark and I will growl to protect and to warn And I will be prepared and ready for any disaster, To be man's companion is the reason that I was born And I will always love and will need my master. God, thank you for my master and a best friend And thank for the times that we will share, I promise you that I will be at his side and him I will defend And if I could, for him I would always say a prayer. So, now before I lay myself down to go to sleep I will check and protect my master and his home once again, I will circle three times before I earn my home and my keep Because my ancestors and I; We are the protector of men.
