I did a search looking for prayers that did not mention God or any Deity and found the following which I like.
Do you have one?
"Good things come through those who's lives we share, Thank You, for sharing your lives with us".

Pray? Really? The term invokes religious connotations. Something that lending credence to which is old and not forward looking. We now know better.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer
Prayer is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with a deity, an object of worship, or a spiritual entity through deliberate communication. Prayer can be a form of religious practice, may be either individual or communal and take place in public or in private. It may involve the use of words or song. When language is used, prayer may take the form of a hymn, incantation, formal creed, or a spontaneous utterance in the praying person. There are different forms of prayer such as petitionary prayer, prayers of supplication, thanksgiving, and worship/praise. Prayer may be directed towards a deity, spirit, deceased person, or lofty idea, for the purpose of worshipping, requesting guidance, requesting assistance, confessing sins or to express one's thoughts and emotions. Thus, people pray for many reasons such as personal benefit or for the sake of others. Yoga is also a common form of prayer.I find reason to be a much better alternative.
