After  a  while  you  learn  the  subtle  differences
                                                                       between  holding  a  hand  and  chaining a  soul,
                                                                       And you  leant  that  love  doesn't  mean  learning
                                                                       and company doesn't  mean security,
                                                                       And you  begin  to  understand  that kisses
                                                                       aren't  contracts and  presents aren't  promises,
                                                                       And you  begin  to accept  your defeats
                                                                       with  your  head  held  high
                                                                       and your eyes wide open,
                                                                       with  the grace  of a  woman,  not  the grief of a  child.
                                                                       You  learn  to build 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  learn...and you  learn
                                                                       with  every  goodbye  you  learn.
