You Learn
by: Unknown

After a while you learn the difference
between holding and chaining a soul.
And you learn that loves doesn't mean security.
And you begin to realize 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 a woman
and not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain.
And futures have a way of falling down mid-flight.
And after a while you learn that even sunshine burns you
if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden
and cultivate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really are strong
and you really do have worth.
And you learn and you learn
with every goodbye.....
you learn.
