A Kitten's Prayer

A Poem by Thea M. Joy

"
Oh Lord,
as I stand here before you
with my paws held firmly together,
I ask these things of you.
Please cleanse me of these fleas,
they make me itch and scratch.
Please shower me daily
with treats made of tuna galore
and someplace safe to hide them
from the dog who lives next door.

Oh Lord,
just a few more things
before I lose my mind...
Please protect me from the kisses
of that slobbering two year old.
He holds me upside down and shakes me,
then squeezes me 'til I can't breathe.
He drags me through the yard,
by my tail and nothing more,
while he squeals with unmasked happiness
at my miserable sight.

Oh Lord,
before I forget....
Please hear this last request.
Please bless the one who holds me
and pats me with tender loving care.
Bless the one who feeds me
and makes sure there's water there.
Bless the one upon whose pillow
I find comfort in each night.
Tell them that I love them
and think they're quite alright!

Amen.
