Bubble Bursters Beware

If you’re a bubble buster
I just have this to say….
When someone is bubbling over
Don’t burst their bubbles, I pray

That bubble comes from inside
And is filled with exuberant joy
Don’t get so very jealous
That you get the itch to annoy

Just let the bubbles escape
Let them fly off into space
The person who’s now bubbling
Might have had tears on her face

She might have gone through sorrow
She might have been filled with fears
Perhaps if you look real close
In those bubbles you'll find tears

Tears that she wants to let go of
Fears that she so longs to set free
So please don’t burst that bubble
Take this advice from bubbling me!

A very creative piece. I liked all the angles you took of it... sad to only feel jealous when someone you know has great things happening in their life. Perhaps it'd be best to be a bubble blower instead of a bubble burster... eh? ;)

I appreciate this sentiment, I have had a few bubbles burst in my time, if they had been allowed to float who knows where they may have carried me. Excellent poem!
