After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean
leaning and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up
and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman or a man
not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because
tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong and you really do have worth
And you learn And you learn
with every good-bye you learn.
You have to take the good with the bad,
smile with the sad, love what you got,
and remember what you had.
Always forgive, never forget,
learn from your mistakes, but never regret.
People change, things go wrong, but just remember,
life goes on...
