A Fence, a Bridge and Me
The fence on which my feelings pause
Forever will be lost for cause
For should it stop my love to flow
Would pain me more than I could know
For fences keep out or keep in
To build one would be such a sin
And should one born to me exist
It’s time to let it be dismissed
A bridge, far better to be built
With no embarrassment or guilt
Where differences can meet to learn
That bridges are not meant to burn
Perhaps then I can follow through
On feelings that I have for you
Though you think differently than me
It’s not just difference that I see
