[QUOTE="kjerckie, post: 51018, member: 511"] I wrote this for my company truck drivers in December 2000. I'd also like to dedicate it now to the drivers on this board: Driver's Prayer Millennium two-thousand is soon to be shutting down, the year was full of laughter with a day or two of a frown. Each night upon returning home I searched above my head, I'd speak my heart into the space and this is what I said: "Oh Lord if you can hear me now above all other's prayers, I have a favor to ask of you in that, which I deeply care. Would you keep our drivers safe and guide the trucks with your hand, The company depends on them to move us across your land. Always give them those few extra feet that they'll need in a second to stop, hold on to the binders, pull down on the rope and please keep the tires on blacktop. Keep their hands dry when the traffic is slow if they're sad, show them something they'll like, take care of the static and clear up the air when there's harm and they grap for the mic. Return them home safely to families and friends and help them to leave this behind- the tension of work, the stress of the road and civilians who were incredibly unkind. This prayer now in closing, I have one more thing I thank you for the friends they have been, I'll stop any traffic, I'll do what I can to help ease their movement ... Amen" [/QUOTE]
