A Driver’s Night Before Christmas

The days before Christmas and all down the road, The drivers’ trucks were a-rollin’ to deliver their loads.

The drivers hauled everything from freight, food to toys, to deliver to homes for good girls and boys.

The cellphones did crackle and voices filled the air, With warm season’s greetings and warnings to bear.

All across the land, the people did sleep, While drivers keep rollin’ through ice, snow and sleet

They’re pushing for delivery, food, freight and toys must arrive, They’re the backbone of our country, necessary to survive.

When the trailer is empty, they’ll get on the phone, And check with their dispatch before heading for home.

The family will greet them with hugs and with smiles, you know it’s for them that they roll all those miles.

Remember the children, remember the wife, of the driver who sacrificed, every day risked his life.

Let’s stop while we’re at it to offer a prayer, That the drivers all made it safely, that they all got there.

We can all be proud of this job that we do, These drivers and shippers depend on me and on you,

So, friends, have a safe one as they roll out of sight, Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!

Perfect...thanks

I don't have a family but that's cool.

That gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Merry Christmas

I like this. I will pass it along also...

A Truck Driver's Prayer

Dear God above bless this truck I drive and help me keep someone alive

Be my mortal sight this day on the street where little children play

Bless my helper fast asleep when the night is long and deep

and keep my cargo safe and sound through the hours big and round

make my judgment sound as steel and be my hands upon the wheel

Bless the traveler going past and teach them not to go so fast

Give me strength for every trip so I may care for what they ship

And make me mindful every mile that life is just a little while....Amen

Good stuff! First Christmas as a drivers and my co-driver and I are about 1000 miles from home. We won't be back to celebrate with our families till February.
