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

HI Angel/3023
Thankyou so much for sharing this poem. It's so very inspiring. Actually makes you feel good. I am 2 yrs. and 4 months out after a lobectomy of right upper lobe. CT scans every 4 to 5 months and pet scans also. They are watching a few things but so far so good. I will be thinking of you even tho we have never met. I will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong and positive. It's so very important. Take care.

Thank you for the poem! It really puts into perspective how this small machine can help you through so much heartache. As you know I express myself better by writing instead of talking so this computer of mine has been a God send to journal here. Hope things are better for you and I still think of you often and pray for you! Write when you can. I hope the posters of pictures and memories helped you some. Much Love, Brisbay
