THE PRAYER OF THE MOUSE
I am so little and grey,
Dear God,
How can you keep me in mind?
Always spied upon,
Always chased,
Nobody ever gives me anything
And I nibble meagerly at life.
Why do they reproach me for being a mouse?
Who made me but you?
I only ask to stay hidden.
Give me my hunger’s pittance
Safe from the claws
Of that devil with green eyes.
Amen
~Carmen Bernos de Gasztold~
