A Mailman's Prayer
Dear God, please be with me
As I deliver mail today
Guide me, oh so carefully
Down the streets where children play
Through the hustle and the bustle
Of the offices downtown
I know you're watching over me
As I swiftly make my rounds
Keep a steady watch
Over my fellow carriers too
If they run into problems
Please guide and help them through
Help me share a smile
With those I meet along the way
And give me strength and patience
To complete my busy day
