After a while

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and
chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn't mean possession 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 an adult not the grief
of a child.And you learn to build your roads today because tomorrows ground
is too uncertain for plans and futures have ways of falling down in 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 can and you really can.
