Hi All! Guess what is playing 24 hours a day on 95.5??? Christmas music! Oh my!
I read something this week that really is quite special. It is a beautiful poem. Gene Wilder included it in his book call Kiss Me Like a Stranger. It is a memoir.
I have seen it before and came across it again in his book. After reading it I thought how pictures go with words. I went through my files and attached two pictures that I thought fit the words.
"After A While"
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 does not always mean security.
And you 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 a head with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child and you learn to build all 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 awhile 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.
And you learn that you really can endure,that you really are strong and you really do have worth.
and you learn and you learn with every good-bye you learn.
