You Learn

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 always 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 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 if you get too much
So you plant your own garden & 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 that you really do have worth.
And you learn...
and you learn...
with every good-bye...
you learn.
