Driver's Prayer

Dear God Above: 

Bless this truck I drive, And help me keep someone alive;

Be my morning sight this day, On the streets where the children play;

Bless my helper fast asleep, When the night is long and deep;

And keep my cargo safe and sound; Through the  hours big and round;

Make my judgment sound as steel, Be my hands upon the wheel;

Bless the traveler going past; And teach him not to go so fast;

Give me strength for every trip; So I may care for what they ship;

And make me mindful every mile, That life is just a little while.

Amen.
