Analysis of A Traveler'S Prayer



Dear lord as we make this journey
My family friends and i
I pray that you would take us safely
As we travel through the sky
please look after the pilot and the crew
The passengers on board and their families too
Please take us safely on dry land
Our destiny lord is in your hand
As we make our return journey lord
My prayer remains the same
Thank you lord for bringing us home safely
To our families and friends again.
Crew
