The Computer Poem
Every night I lie in bed
This little prayer inside my head
God bless my mom and dad
and bless my children...
And God, there's just one more thing
I wish you would do
if you don't mind me asking....
just bless my puter 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, this 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 kindness that 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...
by sharing my life it brings them close,
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.
Enjoy, my friends...
