After a while you learn the difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security.You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes open, with the grace of a woman and not the grief of a child.You learn to build all of your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down mid-flight.After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden, and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.And you learn that you really can endure.That you really are strong, and you really do have worth.
And you learn, and you learn, and you learn.With every goodbye, you learn.****You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
