POEM OF THE DAY After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. You begin to understand that kisses don't mean contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes wide open. With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child... You learn to build 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 get too much. So, you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn what you can really endure. That you really are strong and you really do have worth. And you learn... and you learn. With every good-bye, you learn. love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.. I just thought I would let my readers in on a little secret! I have started living by this everyday! Thank You, Teresa Bennett Smart Choice Title Loans 701 N.
