This is what I pray everytime I get behind the wheel.
Lord, thank you for my job,
it really puts food on the table,
I hope I don't get robbed.
I'll drive this rig until I'm unable.


Lord, help me make this trip,
help me make it on time,
let the tires keep their grip.
and I'll get there just fine.


Lord, help me make my destination,
for the mail always gets there,
Maybe its time for a vacation.
If I can keep all my hair.


Lord, keep me safe and sound,
this night I ask,
for my kids want me to stick around.
help me complete my task.


Lord, help me get home,
to my family,
without any tires blown.
And I'll hug them happily.


For now its time again to pray,
that you help me through another day.

Hi Danie

I delivered for a flower shop for many years so I know what it's like to be on the road alot.  It can be very tense....and if you're gone over night away from family...I'm sure it's difficult for everyone.  Take care...!
