Life is changing for the good!

Today is a new day and in my path of continuing to move forward and making a better life for myself, I thought this was perfect. My mom sent this to me and I absolutely loved it!

Comes The Dawn By Veronica A. Shoffstall


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 always 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 a woman Not the grief of a child


And you learnTo build all your roads on today Because tomorrow’s ground is Too uncertain for plansAnd 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 soulInstead of waiting For someone to bring you flowers


And you learn That you really can endure That you are really strong And you really do have worth And you learn and you learn With every goodbye you learn.

I think as a woman, sometimes I forget this about myself, as I am sure others do too....
