AFTER A WHILE YOU LEARN
THAT LOVE DOESN'T MEAN LEANING,
THAT KISSES AREN'T CONTRACTS, AND PRESENTS AREN'T PROMISES....
AND YOU BEGIN TO ACCEPT DEFEATS
WITH YOUR HEAD UP AND YOUR EYES OPEN,
WITH THE GRACE OF A WOMAN, NOT THE GRIEF OF A CHILD.
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 CAN ENDURE...
THAT YOU REALLY ARE STRONG
AND YOU REALLY DO HAVE WORTH,
AND THAT WITH EVERY NEW TOMORROW
COMES THE DAWN.

BETTER YET... I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST... HE WILL NOT LEAVE ME... HE WILL NOT FORSAKE ME...HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT!

I received this many years ago from an older woman with such wisdom. It has carried me over thirty years. Thank you sis Helen
Pins, Your welcome. I had pretty much given up on my blog. its been years. this might be a good time to start back. Now... if I can only remember my password!
My mother gave this to me in 1986 and I shared the plaque with a dear friend who was in need. I went in search of it today and found this blog site. Thank you
