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 learn

That kisses aren't compromise

And presents aren't promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats

With your head up and your eyes ahead

With the grace of a woman or a man

Not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your loads on today

Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans

And futures have a way of falling down in midflight.

And after a while you learn

That even sunshine burns if you ask too much.

So you plant your own garden

And decorate your own soul

Instead of waiting for someone to buy 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 failure you learn.
