Prayer of a Dog

A DOG 
got tired of barking

Looked up
and
Saw a NIGHTINGALE
On a tree nearby
Singing a sweet song
People praised it 

He became jealous
and
He prayed God and said
(of course barking)
"I am also your creation
people praise the bird's song
And hate when I bark"

"Please Oh ..God.
Give me Nightingale's voice
To sing your praise 
and to say my prayers
and let people love me
like they love NIGHTINGALE 

The Dog looked up into the skies
There was a silence 

There was lightning and thunder 

"You are Yourself 
and your beauty 
is the sound of your barking" He said

The dog barked with much energy
