Jesus´ Little Donkey

Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon 

You little donkey meek and lowly

who first transported baby Jesus

On the road to be born in Bethleem 

In the chosen womb of the Virgin Mary

An example of humility you are 

For me, to follow my destiny

The Way, the Truth and the Life

Which is only to surpass

Myself and not others

To not belittle my brothers

Or neighbors, but to spur them

On the path of righteousness,

Whatever their mode of locomotion

In their native nation. 

 

However, I must confess

That my preferred transportation

My Master´s choice 

By way of example

This little animal, so cute and kind.

For me no white horse,

With a wavy mane,

But this old and modest taxi

The unforgettable little gray donkey.
