The Religion Thing

For years I railed against organized religion
I guess it wasn't drummed into me as a kid
Maybe it was a given by my parents to believe
My Mom was always asking for protection against evil
My Dad never spoke of God
He was in the worst parts of Europe in WW II
Happy to come home alive
He went about his business not saying much
I was always the pragmatic one
If I can't see it , I don't  believe it
Today I've come around to different thinking
It's a personal choice
Your choice has nothing to do with me
Let's be good neighbors
Be the best people we can to help the oppressed
Nothing wrong with praying to a God or otherwise
I'm keeping my mouth shut
Your heart will always be your guide
Amen
