A BUS DRIVER'S PRAYER

 

PLEASE, LORD WATCH OVER ME THIS DAY.

PLEASE HELP ME TO REMEMBER TO WATCH ALL FIVE MIRRORS, TWO DOZEN WINDOWS, EIGHT GAUGES, SIX WARNING LIGHTS, SIX DOZEN FACES, THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC, AND TO KEEP A THIRD EYE OPEN FOR WOBBLING BICYCLES AND DAYDREAMING PEDESTRIANS, ESPECIALLY TEENAGERS WEARING HEADSETS WHO ARE IN ANOTHER WORLD.

PLEASE, LORD, HELP ME HEAR ALL TRAIN WHISTLES, TRUCK AND AUTOMOBILE HORNS, POLICE SIRENS, AND THE TWO WAY RADIO.

PLEASE, LORD, GIVE ME A HAND FOR THE GEAR LEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL, THE ROUTE BOOK, THE RADIO MICROPHONE AND TURN-SIGNAL LEVER.

AND LORD, PLEASE GRANT ME THE SELF CONTROL TO KEEP MY HANDS AWAY FORM JOHNNY'S NECK.

AND ONE MORE THING DEAR LORD, PLEASE DON'T LET MARY BE SICK ALL OVER THE BUS.

AND FINALLY LORD, PLEASE WATCH OVER US ALL SO WE CAN DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
