The Bridge of Friendship

This poem is set with a black and white picture taken of the inside of an old wooden bridge. The crisscross of the boards creating the support needed and a strong friendship to a friend moving away created this mixture of words. As we journeyed Searching for each covered bridge I couldn't help but think How these gateways to another road Stood the test of time Those bridges are like friendships Many boards had to be placed just right Sometimes with a little adjustment then a perfect fit Holding each other up through thick and thin A bond held strong because they Support each other The stories that they can tell from the past opening to new stories yet to come These bridges have stood the test of time Just as our friendship will continue moving on The distance is just another board placed to lengthen the bridge Keeping the friendship Covered and safe Jennifer Kiesling (c)2015
