THE HORSE'S PRAYER
TO THEE, MY MASTER, I OFFER MY PRAYER
FEED ME, WATER AND CARE FOR ME, AND WHEN THE DAY'S WORK IS DONE, PROVIDE ME WITH SHELTER, A CLEAN, DRY BED AND STALL WIDE ENOUGH FOR ME TO LIE DOWN IN COMFORT.
ALWAYS BE KIND TO ME, FOR YOUR VOICE MEANS AS MUCH TO ME AS THE REINS. NEVER STRIKE, BEAT, OR KICK ME WHEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT, BUT GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO UNDERSTAND.
PET ME SOMETIMES, THAT I MAY LEARN TO SERVE YOU M0RE GLADLY AND SHOW YOU LOVE IN RETURN. MAKE SURE THAT I AM PROPERLY SHOD THAT I MAY SERVE YOU IN COMFORT.
AND FINALLY. OH MY MASTER, WHEN MY USEFUL STRENGTH IS GONE, DO NOT TURN ME OUT TO STARVE… OR FREEZE… AND DO NOT SELL ME TO SOME CRUEL OWNER… TO BE SLOWLY TORTURED AND SUFFER AND STARVED TO DEATH; BUT DO THOU, MY MASTER, TAKE MY LIFE IN THE KINDEST, MOST HUMANE WAY AND YOUR GOD WILL REWARD YOU HERE AND HEREAFTER.
YOU WILL NOT CONSIDER ME IRREVERENT IF I ASK THIS…
IN THE NAME OF HIM WHO WAS BORN IN A STABLE.
…...AMEN
