Prayer
Every night I lie in bed, This little prayer inside my head:
God bless my mom and dad, and bless my children,
And take care of my husband; he brings me so much joy...
And God, there's just one more thing - I wish that you would do:
If you don't mind my asking, bless my computer too?
Now I know that it's not normal - to bless a small machine
But listen just a second - and I'll try to explain...
You see, that little metal box - holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small components - rest a hundred loving friends.
Some, it's true, I've never seen - and most I've never met.
We've never shaken hands or - ever truly hugged, and yet...
I know for sure they love me - by the kindness they give
And this little scrap of metal - is how I get to where they live.
By faith is how I know them, much the same as I know you.
I share in what life brings them - from that our friendship grew,
Just take an extra minute - from your duties up above
To bless this little hunk of steel - - that's filled with so much love.
