You light up my world.
You help me see the things
that are right in front of me
You outline my path
and create shadows along it
You turn on when you are told
like an obedient dog waiting for a treat
You stand like a statue in a museum
waiting for the opening hours to come.
When the power fails,
so do you
When we are gone,
so is your purpose
When the nighttime comes,
you are awakened
When we forget to turn you off,
you scorch with anger
And then you burn out
because you have worked too hard
And can no longer shine
