After Awhile 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 open, with the grace of an adult, 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. 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 else to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… That you really are strong, And that you really do have worth. And you learn and you learn With every goodbye you learn~~~~~~~~~~
Just food for thought
Annie

Always loved this - used to have it on my fridge.  Have seen it shared here several times, always nice to see it.    Thanks!
