After a While by Veronica Shofftstall
After a While
by Veronica Shofftstall
"Courage consists in the power of self-recovery."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
______________
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 learning
and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeat
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of an adult,
not the grief 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 too much.
So you plant your own garden and
decorate your own soul, instead of waiting
for someone else to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.
Veronica A. Shoffstall

Children? They don't want presents, they just want to see your face light up when they come in the room.
