AFTER A WHILE

AFTER A WHILE
 After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. An you learn that Love doesn't mean leaning, And company doesn't mean security.
And you begin 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 your roads on today. Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
And futures have a way of falling down in mid=flight.
After a while you learn that even the sunshine burns if you get too close and 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~~~

I am not sure of you wrote this yourself or if it is s piece that you have come across...whichever...it is a very deep and meanignful poem and anyone who has gone through the agony of loneliness will understand, and perhapes learn, from the poem. Well done again.

So perfectly put and so very true too.  Is this an original of yours? If so, it's beautifully done, and if not, thanks for posting it.
