Today I strolled upon a bridge of stone
and marveled at its unified construction.
Strong boulders, each distinct when viewed alone;
together joined, immune to all destruction.
I pondered bonfires turning logs to embers,
each one producing and receiving heat.
Remove one from the other fiery members -
it dies, and leaves the fire less complete.
Within the human body every part
performs its special function for the whole:
the finger, liver, brain, the lung and heart;
each serves its singular and valued role.
Three metaphors speak of community,
in many, one - a diverse unity.
