Comes the Dawn After a while you learn the subtle difference Between a holding a hand and a chaining 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 contracts And presents aren't promises And you learn to accept your defeats, With your head up and your eyes open With the grace of a woman, Not the grief of a child, Because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight After awhile you learn That even sunshine burns if you get to much So you learn you really can endure... That you really are strong And you really do have worth And you learn and learn... With every good-bye you learn. Author Unknown |
