Long~Haul Prayer

Lord, I need Your help for I’m nearing
the end of my luck
I’ve been on the road  too many hours
sitting in the saddle of my galloping truck.

My eyelids are as heavy as mountains
my head is beginning to droop,
Very soon in the nighttime darkness
I’ve got to catch the westbound loop.

So, pry my eyelids open and from
my brain remove the fog,
Tell me what to do
when I have to write into my log.

Lord, please take the reins and
slow my truck to a trot,
Guide me to a restaurant
where the food is nice and hot!
