A Mule Skinners Prayer
A Mule Skinner’s Prayer
By: Tom Wright
1/15/99
Lord,
May you bless both me
and my string this day.
May our trails be wide,
our oat bin full,
and grass along the way.
May there be streams a-plenty,
and your gentle breeze
be always at my back.
Then when at last,
around my fire I sit,
and day is through.
I'll give thee thanks,
for I'll be found
at peace with you.
For my Mule Skinner friend “Wagon John”
