Bridges
By John Farrell

Bridges connect the earth and the sky
Bridges rise up, trancend and inspire
Bridges are proof that dreams can come true
A smile is a bridge from me to you

Bridges cross  water, bridges cross land
Bridges contract and bridges expand
Some bridges are massive, others are small
Love is a bridge that tears down walls

Some bridges are covered, some swing in the breeze
And soar cover canyons, rivers,and trees
Some bridges charge tolls, most bridges are free
Hope is a bridge to a world that can be

Some bridges arch, while others suspend
Some bridges are straight, some bridges bend
Some bridges raise up, some even turn around
Music is a bridge that’s made out of sound

There are bridges underground, bridges in space
There’s even a bridge in the middle of your face
Bridges on boats, violins, and guitars
Imagination is a bridge from here to the stars

Bridges are needed when problems aise
Bridges are answers to how? where? and why?
Bridges span hardship, triumph, and sorrow
A dream is a bridge from today to tomorrow

Bridges let us to see things from the other side
Bridges solve problems that used to divide
Some bridges end where other bridges start
Friendship is a bridge that comforts the heart

Some bridges get crowded, some seldom get used
Some bridges are ancient, others are new
We need bridges to the future and from the past
Stories are bridges that last and last

Bridges connect the earth and the sky
Bridges rise up, transcend, and inspire
Bridges are proff that dreams can come true
Words are a bridge from me to you
