COMES THE DAWN
After awhile 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 understand that kisses aren't contracts,
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and eyes open
With the grace of a woman,
Not the grief of a child,
And you begin to build all your own roads today
Because futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden,
And you 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,
And you learn and learn;
With every good-bye you learn.
