After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open... with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for paths. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. Learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong and you really do have worth.

There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them.
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises.

So plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. Learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong and you really do have worth.
My job's to meet people and love them. If, at least, one person sees the love of Christ in me, it's worth every minute. In fact, it's worth spending my life for.
