SAFETY FIRST (My son’s take on love)

Can someone actually “Catch your eye”?

What does this even mean?

It’s like hearts are floating around their heads;

I think I’m turning green.

I’ve heard people claim

They, “Fell in love”,

And I guess it sounds romantic, but

If I want to risk falling and getting hurt,

I’ll jump off the swing and take my chances!

Falling always comes before the pain;

Don’t they realize that they’re doomed?

I think that I will take a pass,

And I suggest you follow suit.

Lets refuse to fall in love,

Red flags are waving their hands

The risks are far too great

I think we're in over our heads.

Maybe someday I’ll understand

Why so many give it a try,

But, for now I’ll take the safer route,

While I put on my helmet and ride my bike.
