After a while we learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand
and chaining a soul
And we 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
And with the grace of an adult
Not the grief of a child...
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow is too uncertain
for your 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 will learn that you really can endure
That you really are special
And that you do have worth...
So live to learn and know yourself..
And in doing so..
You Will Learn To Live.....

Treasure the love you receive above all
It will survive long after your gold and health have vanished
