1
To Thee my Master I offer my prayer
2
Feed me water me and care for me
3
And when the long day's work is done provide me with shelter
4
A clean dry bed where I can lie down in comfort
5
Always try be kind to me your voice often means far more to me than the reins
6
And pet me sometimes that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you
7
Don't jerk the reins strike beat and kick me when I don't understand what you want
8
But give me the chance to understand you
9
Don't tie me where water can drip on me and please keep me well shod
10
And examine my teeth when I don't eat
11
I may have an ulcerated tooth and that is very painful
12
Dont' tie my head in an unnatural position or take away my best defense
13
Against flies and mosquitos by cutting off my tail
14
I can't tell you when I am thirsty so give me good clear cool water real often
15
Save me by all means in your power from that fatal disease the glandars
16
I can't tell you in words when I dont feel good or when I am sick
17
So watch me so that by signs you may always know my condition
18
Give me all possible shelter from the hot sun and put a blanket over me
19
Not when I am traveling or working but when I am standing in the cold
20
Never put a frosty or dirty bit in my mouth but first clean it and warm it in your hands
21
I try to carry you and your burdens without a murmur
22
And wait patiently for you long hours of the day and night
23
Without the power to chose my shoes or path
24
I sometimes slip and fall on the hard pavement which I often prayed
25
Might be of a nature to give me a good sure footing
26
Remember I that must be ready at any moment to lose my life while in your service
27
And finally dear Master when my useful strength is gone
28
Don't turn me out to starve or freeze
29
Or sell me to some cruel owner who will slowly starve and torture me to death
30
But do Thou my Master take my life in the kindest way you can
31
And your God will reward you here and after
32
You wouldn't consider me irreverant if I ask this in the name of him
33
Who was born in a stable will you
34
Amen
