"After a whiLe u Learn the subtLe difference between hoLding a hand and chaining a souL, u Learn that Love doesn't mean Leaning and company doesn't mean security, And u begin to Learn that kissez aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, And u begin to accept ur defeats with ur head up and ur eyez open, with the grace of an aduLt, not the grief of a chiLd. And u Learn to buiLd awL ur roadz on today because tomorrow'z ground is too uncertain for pLanz. After a whiLe u Learn that even sunshine burnz if u get too much. So pLant ur own garden and decorate ur own souL, instead of waiting for someone to bring u fLowerz. And u Learn that u reaLLy can endure. . . That u reaLLy are strong, And u reaLLy do have worth. ."
