The Driving Star

When I am driving in my car I become everybody's star, I am indeed a well known celebrity In my very small city. People calls me constantly for a ride People who have never before been at my side, Color and race and belief will quickly transcend Everyone is then calling me their friend. They call and they text me all of the time Even when they don't have a dime, We always go out to different places Always with different faces. We'll go for errands or to the store And to the many places that I've never been before, And they always tell my how great and helpful that I am Especially when I drove them out of a jam. I will happily drive them here or there Sometimes to prayer, And sometimes when they tell me they will pay I always nod my head, "No", and I say thank you anyway. When I need someone's help to drive Then no one knows that I am here or alive, And then when I am on foot Everyone ignores me and they give me the boot. Randy L. McClave
