A Computer Prayer

Every night I lie in bed,
This little prayer inside my head.
God bless mom and dad and the children too,
And God there's just one more thing I'd like to ask you --
If you don't mind, please bless my computer 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 what I mean.
You see that 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 hugged except in cyberspace and yet,
I know for sure they love me by the kindnesses 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.
A share of life brings them close to me so if it's OK 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.
