God, Bless the Animals .... and especially all mothers and newborn babies. 
Thank You God, for keeping all babies safe and warm and help their mothers
to be loving, kind and nurturing at all times.  Protect these new families until they
 are able to function on their own. 

Bless too, God, the fathers who You have created
with different jobs to do.  Those who are also nurturers, let them enjoy
 this special time with their offspring. 
For those who are providers, keep them safe and make it easy for them
 to find food and shelter so that they can fulfill their jobs as caregivers, too. 
Thank You God, for the care of all baby animals, everywhere. Amen
