On The Road Again
Moving along the road of life.
I have seen heartache and strife.
Should I march along and try to hide,
Or hold my head up with dignity and pride?
Deep within beats a heart of gold.
It is corroded and gotten old & cold.
This life doesn’t give back what you give.
In most cases, your heart will leak like a sieve.
The turnabouts and bumpy roads
will jar you into a ‘turnoff’ mode.
There is no super smooth freeway of life.
No matter how good there is always strife.
Follow the road you made where it sends.
With luck, there will be no dead ends.
Make the most of what you’ve got.
Don’t just bury it all to rot.
What you do affects others too.
They all want to be close to you.
Though times are rough, there is always hope.
You must be as stubborn as a billy goat.
Never give in to defeat and depression.
Always try to make a good impression.
Others will start responding the same.
Soon, you will be playing a whole new game.
Give praise to God as the only one.
You’ll be on the road to kingdom come.
