A Night Prayer for You

Thank you

For the prayers you offered over your first cuppa

For the breakfast you made for yourself and others

For singing along with the radio on your way to work

For wearing your seatbelt and stopping at the lights

Thank you

For going to work in the heat or the dust or the snow

For tipping the overworked server at a hurried lunch

For the jokes that made the workday better for all

For minding your tongue when the boss said something stupid

(something really stupid)

Thank you

For the verse you wrote, the words you read

For your little children whom you tucked into bed

Thank you –

You made the world a better place today
