Dear Lord:

 

Every single evening As I'm lying here in bed

This tiny little prayer keeps running through my head.

God bless my mom and dad, and other family too.

Keep them warm and safe from harm, for they're so close to me.

 

And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do.

Hope you don't mind me asking, Bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's not normal to bless a motherboard,

But listen just a second while I explain to you 'My Lord'.

 

You see, that little metal box holds more than odds & ends

Inside those small compartments, rest so many of my FRIENDS.

I know so much about them, by the kindness that they give

And this little scrap of metal, takes me in to where they live.

 

By faith is how I know them, much the same as you

We share in what life brings us, and from that our friendship grew.

Please, take an extra minute, from your duties up above,

To bless those in my address book, that's filled with so much love!

 

Wherever else this prayer may reach, to each and every friend,

Bless each email Inbox, and the person who hits Send.

When you update your heavenly list, on your own CD-Rom

Remember each who've said this prayer, Sent up to God.com.

 

Amen. Thank you for being one of these very special people

in my little metal box
