SOUL 🦋

Tardily a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean learning and company doesn’t always mean security.🦋🦋

And you begin to comprehend that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promised.🦋🦋🦋

And you begin to acknowledge your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. 🦋🦋

And you learn to build all your roads today, 🦋🦋🦋

Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. 🦋

And futures have a way of tumbling in mid-flight. 🦋🦋

After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your garden and decorate your soul. instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.🦋🦋

And you learn that you really can endure. you really are strong, you really have worth, and you learn, and you learn, with every goodbye, you learn.🦋🦋🦋
