I'm Glad God Gave Us Animals

I’m Glad God Gave Us Animals

I’m glad God gave us animals

To cheer us on dreary days

He gave them each unique senses

To help us in diverse ways.

The horse to carry his rider

His curved back is shaped just right.

He listens to us through his mouth

With reins to control his might.

Then there’s our loyal companions-

The dog: man’s best four-legged friend.

He strives hard to please his master,

By serving him to the end.

The cat, to keep us on our toes.

They purr curled up in our laps.

And we can’t help but laugh out loud,

At their hilarious mishaps.

The birds aloft up in the trees.

Their chorus always in tune.

Their songs are happy and vibrant.

Singing softly as they croon.

God made many more than all these.

With varying talents and gifts.

Each one He made for a purpose.

And with them our souls uplifts.
