A BUS DRIVER'S PRAYER

Please Lord, watch over me this day.
Please help me remember to watch all
eight mirrors, two dozen windows,
eight guages, six warning lights,
six dozen faces, three lanes of
traffic and to keep a third eye
open for wobbling bicycles and
day-dreaming pedestrians, especially
teenagers wearing headsets who are
in another world.

Please Lord, help me hear all train
whistles, truck and car horns,
police sirens and the 2-way radio.
Please Lord, give me a hand for the
gear lever, the steering wheel, the
route book, the radio microphone and
the turn signal lever.

And Lord, please grant me the self-control
to keep my hands away from Johnny's neck.
And one more thing, dear Lord, please don't
let Mary be sick all over the bus.

And finally Lord, please watch over
us all so we can do it again.
