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 always 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
ahead
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 you
learn
with every goodbye you
learn...
