Prayers For - In Alphabetical Order, Colin, Mason And Ms Buttons Poem by Diana van den Berg

Dear God,
there are so many special furr purrsons
in the world,
but right now
there are three
who so specially need Your loving gaze
and they need You to bless them
in their precious individual kittinesses -
Colin who is black and white and lives in Texas,
Mason who is grey striped with a white chest and lives in California,
and Ms Buttons who is black and white and lives in Pennsylvania,
but You know them all so well
and You have given them each
so many miracles
and adored these darlings
whom you have created
with such love and care
and most of all given them
to families
whom you knew
would love them and look after them
in the way they need the most
and who would love their families back
as much as they are loved.
Please hold these precious kitties in Your loving arms
and their humans too
and bring them all,
even more miracles
possible and impossible
and the best of everything ever.
