Bridge
The strength that stands through time.
Protection that allows you to cross.
Security in the trusses, above and below.
To cross from one place in time, in life, to another
You had to walk forward and leave them behind.
Yes, the steps were timid and at times unsure
The obstacles of pain forced you to stop, halted your progress.
With courage you found your way around and walked onward.
Bridges can sway in the breeze, just as we may waver.
Bridges can open up and impede progression, just as we may fall into the abyss of hurt and strife.
Those open bridges, then slowly descend back into place and we can then advance.
This bridge leads the way to the openness in your own heart
Head up, eyes focused this motion drives you on
With all due pomp and circumstance you cross this bridge triumphantly
Guided and protected as you find the way back to you.
