 After a while you learn the subtle differencebetween holding a hand and sharing a lifeAnd you learn that love doesn’t mean possessionAnd company doesn’t mean securityAnd loneliness is universal And you learn that kisses aren’t contractsand presents aren’t promisesAnd you begin to accept your defeatswith your head up and your eyes openwith the grace of a womannot the grief of a child And you learn to build your hope on todayas the future has a wayof falling apart in mid flightbecause tomorrow’s groundcan be too uncertain for plansyet each step taken in anew direction creates a pathtoward the promise of a brighter dawn And you learn that even sunshine burnsif you get too muchSo your plant your own gardenand nourish your own soulinstead of waiting for someoneto bring you flowers And you learn that love, true lovealways have joys and sorrows,seems ever present, yet is never the samebecoming more than love and less than loveSo difficult to define And you learn that through it allyou really can endureThat you are really are strongThat you do have value And with every goodbye…you learn and you grow By Veronica Shoffstall
