Shirlee Hall – COMES THE DAWN
December 17, 2012 by Team Celebration
COMES THE DAWN 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 mean security. And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes 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 … [Read more...]
