You Just Never Know

Some see the Virgin Mary in potato chips
Alot of craziness from our collective lips

Jesus posing there in remnants of grilled cheese
Elvis near the gates of Graceland if you please

Now we see the Sphinx on Mars but who's to say?
Life as we know it could be changing anyway

As time flies on around us wonders could transcend
We must acknowledge things that we can't comprehend

So look around and try to keep an open mind
You never know what sort of miracles we might find

You had me laughing with visions of Mary in potato chips and Jesus in grilled cheese remnants, Deb. As you say about the sphinx head, you just never know! Good luck in the contest. Take care, Diane
