Beneath night's dark blanket
a white candle is lit.
A warm Advent gift,
the flame of human spirit.
With this 3rd light of Advent
We give thanks to the animals
To beasts large and small
Who reflect back our souls
Bless the friendship
and wonderment they provide,
Their gifts of self
nourish our lives.
Bless the deep knowledge
and the lessons they offer,
about caring and loving
And sharing Earth with each other.
