Bus Maintenance/ Dispatch  549-6802

Please Lord, watch me this day.

Please help me remember to watch all five mirrors, two dozen windows

     Eight gauges, six warning lights, six dozen faces

Three lanes of traffic and to keep a third eye open for wobbling bicycles

And day dreaming pedestrians especially teen-agers wearing head sets

Who are in another world.

Please Lord help me hear all train whistles, truck and automobile horns

Police sirens and the two way radio.

        Please also let me hear when one of my students calls for me 

And just needs a listening ear

Please Lord give me a hand for the gear lever, the steering wheel, The route book, the radio microphone and the turn-signal lever while being able to hand out Kleenexes and other things the kids may need

And Lord please grant me the self-control to keep my hands away from little Johnny’s neck when he’s pinching and biting little Billy , while trying to keep everybody in their seat, and reminding them that sticking their head outside the window is not safe.

          And one more thing dear Lord, please don’t let little Mary

   be sick all over the bus

       And finally Lord please watch over us all

    so that we can do it again next year.    

Amen.  ~Author Unknown
