Cruelty To Animals
Dear God, I struck my dog to-day,
He cowered very low,
And looking up, he seemed to say,
"How could you treat me so?"
And then, O God, I struck again,
My ugly wrath to spend;
I gave a speechless creature pain,
I hurt a faithful friend.
O God, it was a wicked burst
Of brutal cruelty,
To strike an animal whose first
And last love is for me.
It was a friend that has no speech
To tell of need or pain.
O God, forgive the sin and teach
Me not to sin again.
Amen
