A Quakers PrayerPlease watch over our humans, they
are so weak. They have no claws or teeth, they can't run fast or fly away, neither can
they burrow or build a nest in which to be safe. They smell bad, do strange things that
aren't altogether intelligent, have no real ability to communicate with us, although we
are able to figure out what they want. Lord, grant US the ability to watch over our
humans, care for them, cheer them when they are down, make them laugh, smile, and shower
them with our love. We pray that we can bring a little joy into their otherwise mundane
existence and preserve the emotional and perhaps even psychic link that we used to all
share millions of years ago, but that they have sadly forgotten.
They aren't even able to keep all those funny looking squiggly "wannabee
feathers" thingys off their bodies nor are they able to preen themselves to get rid
of all those hard, flat little bugs they call scars. These poor humans need us so much!
Lord...please let them know that when we insist on getting attention, its so we can
check their emotional well being and boost their morale. When we pester them for different
foods, toys, etc, its so they will learn to see us in ways they hadn't considered,
bringing them closer and back into the fold of Nature which they are part of but keep
forgetting about.
They expect us to know what they want even though sometimes they don't know what we
want. Some of them really try and we know they love us but some of them are so dumb yet
our love for them remains intensely unfaltering. Lord, when we die, please make sure to
send us ahead to where ever our humans are going to be, so we can pave the way for them
and vouch for them.
Their souls are weighed by the good they've done in life, our souls are weighed by the
good we've caused them to do....please allow us to continue proving the humans are worth
the effort. You placed these humans in dominion over us, but you charged us with the task
of caring for them and SHOWING them your love every day, through us. God bless these mere
mortal humans, they know not that we are their guardian angels sent in love to task them
so that they may grow to be part of your plan. You and Us God......we'll bring them back
into the fold.....you and us.
