Don't stop to learn .
by califgirl1 at 6/12/2009 5:04:41 AM


After a While You Learn the Subtle Difference
Between Holding a Hand and Sharing A Life
And You Learn Love Doesn't Mean Possession
And Company Doesn't Mean Security
And Loneliness Is Universal

And You Learn That Kisses Aren't Contracts
And Presents Aren't Promises
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 Hope on Today
As the Future Has a Way of Falling Apart in Mid-flight
Because Tomorrow's Ground Can Be
Too Uncertain for Plans,
Yet Each Step Taken in a New Direction Creates a Path
Toward the Promise of a Brighter Dawn

And You Learn That Even Sunshine Burns
If You Get Too Much
So You Plant Your Own Garden
And Nourish Your Own Soul
Instead of Waiting For Someone To Bring You Flowers

And You Learn That Love, True Love
Always Has Joys and Sorrows
Seems Ever Present, Yet Is Never Quite The Same
Becoming More than Love and Less than Love
So Difficult To Define

And You Learn That Through It All
You Really Can Endure
That You Really Are Strong
That You Really Do Have Value
And You Learn and Grow
With Every Goodbye
You Learn.........

Learning and hoping for what and how to get there""" a Land that only you can live, and must, demand it.

Yes but, aren't we all happy we had love, even if we lose it.

One thing I have learned.....when I don't have anything else, I always have hope. Such a fool I am. Hope springs eternal.
