There's a mantis praying... — Description

Crouching on a cabbage leaf,

There’s a mantis praying.

Sneak up very quietly -

You will hear him saying:

Bless the cricket,

Bless the slug.

Bless the fly

And ladybug.

Bless the aphid

And the bee.

Bless the spider

And the flea.

Bless the lacewing.

Bless the gnat.

Make them healthy.

Make them fat.

Guide them over.

Light their way.

That’s all I ask –

        These things I pray.

                                                                                                                         ~ A Garden Prayer B J Lee
