After awhile you learn
the subtle difference
between holding a hand
and chaining a soul.
And you begin to learn
that love doesn't mean leaving
and company doesn't
mean security.
And you learn that
kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't
promises.
And you learn to accept
you defeats
with the grace of a
woman or man-not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build
all your roads on today
because tomorrow's
dreams have a way of falling down in midflight.
After awhile you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you ask too much.
So you plant your own
garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.
After awhile you learn
that you really can endure,
that you really are
strong,
and you really do have
worth; and you learn-
with every good-bye---you
leard.
