Humanity In Animals

Oh! Lord 

Make me the king of human mind 

As lion among the wild

Make me as brave as a tiger 

And as gentle as a sheep 

But not as stubborn as a mole 

Who lives in a hole

Give me the patience of a donkey 

And intelligence of a monkey 

With an amalgamation

Of spider’s determination 

Foresight of an ant 

And memory of an elephant 

Shower on me the loyality of a dog 

And virtue of monogamy of birds

And harmony of a crow

Over and above these 

Bestow on me the docility of a dove

And wisdom of a swan 

And make me kind and humane
