LET´S PRAY FOR THE GENTLE ONES:

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, whom our language cannot speak,

For the gentle ones who are silent, roar, growl, tweet, or squeak,

Let´s pray for all those gentle ones, suffering at the hands of man,

Let´s pray for those who are here, according to God´s fantastic plan.

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, who fly up high, over our skies above,

For those, who like us, only ask for a little respect & a tiny bit of love,

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, in all waters that cascade ebb, & flow,

Let´s pray for those who walk the earth & for those who live below.

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, those of feather, fur, talon & claw,

For all the tiny insects & those with wings, antennae & padding paw,

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, those who slither, slide, prowl & crawl,

So let us pray for them all, whether invisible, very big or very small.

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, those who climb, stalk & swiftly run,

For those who live in snowy climes & beneath the burning desert sun,

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, those poached, shot & cruelly trapped,

For those whose souls, by humans, have been hunted, chained, sapped.

Let us pray for the gentle ones & tell them we´re sorry for all our sins,

For all of earth´s creatures, all animals of feather, fur, quill, skin & fins,

Let´s pray for the gentle ones, all those of God´s vast & original plan,

While upon our bended knees, let´s pray for the enlightenment of man.
