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 accept your defeats
With your head held up and your eyes open,
with the grace of an adult
not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build your roads today
Because tommorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down 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
