Prayers in the Ark by Carmen Bernos de Gasztold.
Elephant Prayer
Dear God,
It is I, the elephant,
Your creature
who is talking to you.
I am so embarassed by my great self
and truly it is not my fault
if I spoil Your jungle a little with my big feet
Let me be careful and behave wisely,
always keeping my dignity and poise.
Give me such philosophic thoughts
that I can rejoice everywhere I go
in the loveable oddity of things.
Amen.
