After a while...

Mar 05, 2011

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 accept your defeats with
your head up and your eyes wide 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 plant your 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 that you really do have worth.
