After a while you learn
the subtile difference between holding a hand
and changing a soul and you learn
that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you 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 man, 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 and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye , you learn...
