What Has Love Taught You Lately?


Recommended Posts

After A While

After a while you learn the subtle difference between

holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn mean learning and

company doesn mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren contracts

and presents aren promises,

And you begin to accept your defeat with your head

up and you eyes open, with the grace of an adult,

not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all you roads on today

because tomorrow ground is too uncertain for

plans.

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 else to bring you

flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure...

That you really are strong,

And you really do have worth.
