“After Awhile”
You learned the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul;
And you learn that love 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 eyes wide open with the strength 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 awhile 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;
And you really do have worth and you learn and learn with every goodbye you learn.
