My dad's pigeons
My dad is ailing and I'm trying to look after him the best way that I know. Some of his young racing pigeons have rickets now. I'm trying to get the treatment for them together this week. I hope that I will have caught it early enough. There's one who has a broken wing after fending off some rats. Everything seems to work against me. I'm honestly out of my dept and my dad isn't lucid enough to help any more. I'm trying my best. I like to pray a little prayer for the pigeons in my care.
Creator of all winged and wandering creatures, look down with mercy upon my dad's young pigeons. You who number the hairs of our heads and watch over every sparrow, hold these gentle birds in the palm of your care. If they are in hurt or in peril, grant them strength, breath, and healing, and guide them to safety and shelter. And if any pigeon's time on this earth has reached its end, surround it with peace, ease its pain, and welcome it into the quiet grace of your eternal creation. Amen.
