BLESS ALL PEOPLE

Dear God, Creator of us all,

Bless sailors and tailors
and merchandise mailers,
winners and sinners
and grade-school beginners.

Bless tall folk and small folk
and teachers and preachers,
bakers, the Lakers
and grave undertakers.

Bless gamblers and ramblers
and animal handlers,
bless dreamers and schemers
and loafers and go-fers.

Bless dressers and pressers
and priestly confessors,
bless thinkers and drinkers
and tinsmiths and tinkers.

Bless rovers and drovers
and plumbers and drummers,
porters and sorters,
and proctors and doctors.

Bless cooks and crooks
and those who write books,
bless valets at chalets
and jewelers and toolers.

Bless feeders and bleeders,
political leaders,
skaters and raters,
and tax estimators.

Bless good ones and bad ones,
the saintly and sinners,
aged retirees
and life's young beginners.

Bless us all Lord
the great and the least,
and lead us at last
to Your heavenly feast.

Amen
