Warning About Fireworks

Rockets flare in brilliant aerial display
Lighting the night as though were day
Roman candles fired at the moon
       A celebration ended too soon

Like fireworks that light up the eyes
excitement and love fizzles and dies
There's danger in holding a short fuse
       Fingers and heart you may lose
