After A While


After a while, you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn the love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security
And you begin to 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 ahead
With the grace of a woman
and 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 and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

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 somebody to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure
that you are really strong and that you really do have worth.
And you learn and you learn,
with every goodbye you learn.

by Veronica A. Shoffstall (1971)
