"God, Our Father,
may everything we do be First Class.

Imprint your own loving Zip Code upon our hearts
so that we may never go astray.

Provide in your gracious Providence
Special Handling for those of us who are Fragile
and keep us in one piece.

And when our days draw to a close
and we are marked ‘Return to Sender'
be there to greet us at Heaven's door
so that nobody may ever say
‘Unknown at this address.'

Amen."
