AFTER WHILE

 

SUBTLETIES 

___________________

Through experience, you learn

the subtle difference between 

holding a hand and changing a soul

And you learn,

that love, doesn't mean leaning

and company isn't always security 

Kisses aren't contracts,

and presents aren't promises

And, int time you learn

to accept your defeats;

with your held held high.

And you learn to build 

all your roads TODAY

because TOMORROW is uncertain

and future's have a way of falling

down, mid-flight.

After while,

you learn that even sunshine burns,

if you get too much

So plant your own garden,

and decorate your soul

Instead of waiting for someone

to bring you flowers

And, in time, you learn,

you are really strong,

you really do have worth,.

and you learn,

with every goodbye,

you learn.
