~~ Learning ~~ After awhile you learn the subtle difference Between holding a hand and changing a soul And you learn that love doesnt mean leaning And company doesnt mean security And you begin to learn that kisses arent contracts And presents arent 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 learn to build all your roads on today Because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans And futures have a way of falling down in midflight After awhile 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 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. ~ Argentinian poet/essayist, Jorge Luis Borges, translated to English by Veronica A. Shoffstall
