You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say,"I am proud of what I am and who I am,and I am going to be myself."

After a while you learn the subtle difference, between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that, love dosen't mean leaning. And company dosen'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 man, 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 have 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 person you meet or employ. You learn with every friend or lover, you learn with every goodbye,you learn.
