Thank you M.......

Mariam's one of my really2 best friends at the moment (nice kiss-ass intro huh, M?), and she had been nice enough to share this poem by Miss Veronica Shaffstall (i don't know who the hell she is, but what the heck...this poem's superb!) in her blog (click here to go to her page).


Personally, i find that this poem is very touching and true. Now I'm using it as one of my guides for getting through the days ( i know, i sound kinda depressed....but yeah, i am kinda). And i think it's very motivational and inspirational, just like some Mariah Carey's songs....

So, M....thanks again for sharing this with me. Luv ya, Bee-Atch!

Here it is:

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 ahead
with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child

And you learn;

to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow is 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 someone to bring you flowers

And you learn;

that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and you really have worth

And you learn

And you learn

With every goodbye

you learn........
