\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On The Road Again<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moving along the road of life.<\/p>\n

I have seen heartache and strife.<\/p>\n

Should I march along and try to hide,<\/p>\n

Or hold my head \u00a0up with dignity and pride?<\/p>\n

Deep within beats a heart of gold.<\/p>\n

It is corroded and gotten old & cold.<\/p>\n

This life doesn\u2019t give back what you give.<\/p>\n

In most cases, your heart will leak like a sieve.<\/p>\n

The turnabouts and bumpy roads<\/p>\n

will jar you into a \u2018turnoff\u2019 mode.<\/p>\n

There is no super smooth freeway of life.<\/p>\n

No matter how good there is always strife.<\/p>\n

Follow the road you made where it sends.<\/p>\n

With luck, there will be no dead ends.<\/p>\n

Make the most of what you\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t just bury it all to rot.<\/p>\n

What you do affects others too.<\/p>\n

They all want to be close to you.<\/p>\n

Though times are rough, there is always hope.<\/p>\n

You must be as stubborn as a billy goat.<\/p>\n

Never give in to defeat and depression.<\/p>\n

Always try to make a good impression.<\/p>\n

Others will start responding the same.<\/p>\n

Soon, you will be playing a whole new game.<\/p>\n

Give praise to God as the only one.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be on the road to kingdom come.<\/p>\n
