Comes The Dawn
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 learn that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises,
And you begin to learn to accept your defeats with
your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman 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...
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth,
And you learn and learn...
With every good-bye you learn.
