Dear Lord, please help my mind to be sharp <br />So that I might focus on the needs of others <br />Help my ears to be trained <br />To listen to the calls that need my attention <br />Train my heart to persevere <br />Though, at times, I may feel overwhelmed <br />Keep my voice steady and calm <br />As I guide citizens and professionals <br />Keep my hands quick and accurate <br />So that I might relay details precisely <br /> <br />Lord, never let me become discouraged <br />For I know You've put me here to help my community <br />Never let me be fearful <br />For I know You drive my words and actions <br />Never let me forget that You are my provider <br />And You will provide, hour by hour, what I need in this job <br /> <br />((May 30th,2009))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dispatcher-s-prayer/
