After A While.

After a while, you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn
that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always 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 ahead
with the grace of a woman,
not the grief of a .

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 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
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...

This is so true and experience can be a powerful teacher...


A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw

As usual you've found a great photo to go with it.

Beautiful poem, a wise man thought me that adulthood is not about not getting hurt, but to learn that hurt we encounter in life doesn't destroy us but rather makes us stronger,

It doesn't matter
what lessons that
we learn in life . .
It matters more
what lessons that
we teach.

I hope to never stop learning. Not the hard kind from mistakes though.

I love this poem.
