COMPUTER 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 kindnesses 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
-- so if it's okay with you,
just take an extra minute
from your duties up above
to bless this little hunk of steel
that's filled with so much love.
