After a while you learn the 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 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 open,
with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because
tommorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too
much.
So 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. . .
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
