Bubbles

Chasing Bubbles

When do I chase the bubbles
And when to just let them go?

Don’t waste your life chasing bubbles.
There is so much that amounts to nothing,
Nothing more than bubbles - -
A momentary fleeting shiny orb
That floats away and bursts.
There is so much that looks good at first
But on a close examination is gone
As quickly as it came.
There is so much that catches our interest
And we’re tempted to chase it.
Yet it would direct our time
And energy from what truly matters.
So let the bubbles go.
You’ll be happier that you did.

Oh, my friends, chase the bubbles!
Have some fun…
Enjoy the moments…
Pursue your dreams…
Reach for the elusive…
Dance and fly and wave…
Life doesn’t have to be so serious,
Bogged down with work,
Focused on goals and tasks,
Working hard and working out.
Let go! Love! Live!
You’ll remember the bubbles best of all.
They’ll be your legacy someday!
