AFTER A WHILE YOU LEARN THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING A HAND AND CHAINING A SOUL,
AND YOU LEARN THAT LOVE DOES'T MEAN LEANING AND COMPANY DOESN'T MEAN SECURITY,
AND YOU BEGIN TO LEARN THAT KISSES AREN'T CONTRACTS AND PRESENTS AREN'T PROMISE
AND YOU BEGIN TO ACCEPT YOUR DEFEATS WITH YOUR HEAD UP AND YOUR EYES OPEN, WITH THE GRACE OF AN ADULT, NOT THE GRIEVE OF A CHILD,
AND YOU LEARN TO BUILD ALL 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 TO MUCH. SO PLANT YOUR GARDEN AND DECORATE YOUR OWN SOUL, INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BRING YOU FLOWERS.
AND YOU REALLY CAN ENDURE...
THAT YOU REALLY ARE STRONG. AND YOU REALLY DO HAVE WORTH.
