Light Bulbs

Light Bulbs

Love is like a light bulb,
You can turn it off and on.
But if it burns to bright,
It won’t last too long.

Relationships take commitment,
Cause rough times are sure to come.
Realize nothing is perfect,
What’s wrong can be undone.
 
Put thought into your decisions,
Run the race, not a sprint
Listen to what they are telling you,
Take actions to their hints.

Lights that burn too hot,
Are quick to fade away.
Keep your love on an even keel,
To see another day.

This was very well executed here. The comparison was simply great to the light bulb and love. Very unique. I liked this a lot. Thank you also for your kind comment.
