Would You?

What would you think if you saw a man,
Walking the streets, with Bible in hand?
Would you think him weird and look away,
Wondering if he'd been 'let out' that day?

Would you carry 'The Book', while you're away,
Or worry about what people might say
If they saw You reading the word of God;
Embarrassed to admit you believe in His law?

It's a well known fact, and I will say,
"If you're seen raising your hands to pray,
You'll be looked upon as a former 'psych',
Labeled fanatical, and thought 'not right'!"

Would You feel uncomfortable if you were seen
Choosing the Bible over some magazine,
Or would you simply smile and say,
"I chose this Book, for me, today"?
