\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Commitment Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those strong emotional feelings that won\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n

The kind you had as a teenager that wouldn\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n

The feelings that were coming on strong.<\/p>\n

Anytime something went right or wrong.<\/p>\n

The kind that made life exciting and fun.<\/p>\n

Yet, the kind that hurt really bad when they weren\u2019t the one.<\/p>\n

It is not only guys who treat love like a four letter word.<\/p>\n

There are girls too who treat guys like a dirty bird.<\/p>\n

Often those \u2018strong\u2019 emotions set the pattern for it.<\/p>\n

Once burned they never recover from it.<\/p>\n

There is a scar on their ego that won\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n

So, they are off to play the field another day.<\/p>\n

Never making any real commitments in life.<\/p>\n

It is the way they have found to avoid the strife.<\/p>\n

Burn me once, it\u2019s on you.<\/p>\n

Burn me twice and I\u2019m the fool.<\/p>\n

Must life be such a silly game?<\/p>\n

Romance is never won this way. It\u2019s all so lame.<\/p>\n

Does the word \u2018commitment\u2019 scare all today?<\/p>\n

Or, is it that they don\u2019t understand what to say?<\/p>\n

This lack of commitment leaves much desired.<\/p>\n

One love after another can get very tired.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like skimming the whipped cream off a delicious desert.<\/p>\n

Never getting deep enough to really taste what it is worth.<\/p>\n

A commitment that envolves devotion, cherish, & dedication.<\/p>\n

The results is far better than any meditation.<\/p>\n

Dreaming about the \u2018perfect\u2019 love just doesn\u2019t cut it.<\/p>\n

Making a lifelong commitment is a cut above it.<\/p>\n

The trust, support, endearment, & companionship develop.<\/p>\n

In the end the expanded love will totally envelop.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be blessed so much more than a nightly stand.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a ship anyone would be proud to command.<\/p>\n
