The Bridge

It began with a bridge

A connection between two places

Here and there

Strong and solid, withstanding time.

It continued with a bridge

A connection between two people

Him and her

Strong and resilient, withstanding time.

The bridge was aware of the future

Standing strong.

Stable.

Preparing the path.

The path that these two would take

Him and her

Bringing them to cross and connect.

The bridge

Allowed for them to know themselves.

The love in their hearts

Their thoughts of kindness

Their need to embrace

And

Their need to be united.

This bridge had carved the way.

Each day would become another step

Another woven thread in their journey.

Each day they would understand more

Their bond

From shore to shore.

Together they would face life's rivers

Oceans and streams

Fires and furies

Bridging them.

Together they lived to love the other

Hands held tight, crossing any chaos.

A bridge had united them

Him and her

A bridge, they had become.

This bridge

An understanding

Would always be a part of their song.
