Chahat

Dear Lord,

Every single evening 

As I'm lying here in bed, 

This tiny little Prayer 

Keeps running through my head: 

God  bless all my family 

Wherever they may be, 

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, 

Please bless my computer too. 

Now I know that it's unusual 

To Bless a motherboard, 

But listen just a second 

While I explain it to you, Lord. 

You see, that little metal box 

Holds more than odds and 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 friendships 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 e-mail inbox 

And each person who hits 'send'. 

When you update your Heavenly list 

On your own Great CD-ROM, 

Bless everyone who says this prayer 

Sent up to GOD.Com 

Amen
