Lava Lamp

Lava lamp life
That’s a life without strife
You are you bubble
Only causing a little trouble

You go up and down
From a smile to frown
Bouncing back and forth
Heading south, or maybe north

You will go from here to there
Where? You won’t honestly care
Just going wherever the world takes you
Whether it’s around, or all the way through

Just floating around with no matter
All of your thoughts will splash and splatter
You won’t know what to think
You shall not grow…shall not shrink

A lava lamp life
One without strife
That is a life where you will always loose
That is not the life I am going to choose

aww this is a great life, it's true how many are like lava lamps and that's not the life i chose for myself either, I once was like a lava lamp taking things in my stride but it was a diffrent story when I gave my life to God and had Jesus by my side, I know here i am going and the journey may be long but when I reach my destination I will be where I belong, home sweet home, take care from diane
