poor creatures <br />always at the receiving <br />end of cruelties <br /> <br />the night i prayed for the <br />world's animals <br />that they would be delivered <br />from extinction, human iniquities <br /> <br />a bird of paradise flew into my dream <br />she came so near as if we were friends <br />and then i knew my prayers have <br />entered the realm of God and has been heard <br /> <br />he even sent the bird from paradise <br />flying straight to me, coming so close <br />eyes staring into my face<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-i-prayed-for-the-animals/
