I did not write this
it is written by Veronica A. Shoffstall
but it has helped in all situations!<p>
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holdng 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 up and your eyes open
With the grace of a women, not the greif 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 midflight
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
