The World of Grandpa Don

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, 
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 mother board, 
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 I know 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.

This was sent to me by my daughter Anne Marie.
It may seem to be trivial but ... 
It is a message to my friends and a sincere request to God.
