After a while you learn the subtle
Difference between holding a hand and cheering a soul,
And you will learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t mean security
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts, presents, and promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your heads up and your eyes open
With the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
So plan 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
