Cool Stuff :: Comes The Dawn

After a while you learn the subtle differences

 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 being to accept your defeats

With your head up and your eyes open

With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all your roads on today

Because tomorrow’s ground is to uncertain for plans

And futures have a way of falling down in mid-fight.

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…

That you really are strong.

And you really do have worth.

And you learn and learn…

 With every goodbye you learn.
