Rosemary’s Blessing

 God our father —  may everything we do be "first class."

Imprint your own loving "zip code"
upon our hearts 
in 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.

 We have been
"signed, sealed, stamped, and delivered" 
in your image and likeness,
and we beg you to keep us in your care 
as we go about our "appointed rounds."

 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.
