Baking a Cake


A relationship

Is like baking a cake

The big idea

Is really simple to make

 

Lots of sugar

Lots of care

You just have to make sure

You're always there

 

But what you don't realize

Is how much can go wrong. 

It could just be

leaving the cake in there a little too long.

 

One rotten egg

Is like closed ears.

Next thing you know.

You're close to tears

 

Too much salt.

Is like no support. 

You don't want to take home

A bad report.

 

A bad cake 

Will not make you happy

Infact 

It will leave you feeling pretty nasty.

 

But a good cake

With just the right mix

Will give you a lifetime 

Of wonderful trips.
