As I start making decisions about my bathroom reno, this poems has made me realize it is not only my bathroom that needs renovating but also my heart and soul!
COMES THE DAWN - Veronica A. Shoftstall
After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love 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 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 all your roads
On today because tomorrow's ground
Is too uncertain. 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 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.
