Bases Covered

I've got a Bobble Head Buddha That nods on the dash Some guy named Gideon Whose Bible rides in the back Rainbow covered Rosary beads Hang from my mirror with ease I've got all the bases covered As pretty as you please Have my cassette of Hindu chants Where I hum along Shaved my head for Hare Krishna In case I get it wrong Holy water in my reservoir So when my windshield wipers wipe I have that added protection Never knowing what might A Yarmulke from a Bar Mitzvah In the seat next to me With a case of Watchtower in the floorboard I pass out for free No cigarettes or coffee Like a good Latter Day Saint In case Jesus comes back a third time Who's to say that he ain't With all my bases covered I feel pretty safe Guess I can now crank the engine And start out my day I'm a firm believer in Jesus Christ (who's only come once but will return) and his saving grace. I just watch some people these days bounce around from whatever religion makes them feel good and this little ditty came to mind. Each of us have a hole in our hearts only the true God can fill. If you're not satisfied with where you're at, that right there is the problem. Don't rely on man to tell you who God is...let God do that.

This poem made me smile Mike and I know exactly what you mean; some people treat faith as the flavor of the month, never really knowing God. PS: I was raised in a Catholic home but have since moved to Buddhism (30 years ago).
