Computers

typing puter
We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.

COMPUTER PRAYER

Every night I lie in bed,
this little prayer inside my head.
God bless my mom and dad,
and bless my children.
And take care of my husband,
he brings me so much joy...
And, God, there's just one more thing
I wish you would do.
If you don't mind my asking,
to bless my 'puter too?
Now I know that it's not normal
to bless a small machine,
But listen just a second,
and I'll try to explain...
You see, that little metal box
holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small components
rest a hundred loving friends.
Some, it's true, I've never seen,
and most I've never met.
We've never shaken hands or
even hugged, and yet...
I know for sure they love me,
by the kindnesses they give.
And this little scrap of metal
is how I get to where they live.
By faith is how I know them,
much the same as I know you.
I share in life it brings them
so if it's ok with you...
Just take an extra minute
from your duties up above...
To bless this little hunk of steel
that's filled with so much love.
