Poem Title:
Poem
Verse A: Oh how you've honed rebellion, made an art of breaking rules Just to garner my affection, but I didn't have the tools (And I never suffered fools - no I never suffered fools) I loved you with my diligence and bent my back to make A bridge of opportunities and a path for you to take (Cleared a passage for your sake - yes a passage for your sake) Chorus A: Can you see it, in the mist There on high - there on high? There's an arch, heaven-kissed In the sky, the hazy sky You may not see it now But I built it strong with love And one day it will hold you Bye-and-bye, bye-and-bye Yes, one day it will hold you Bye-and-bye. Verse B: Oh I know how I've failed you in many ways I can't explain We'll never have a friendship - I've caused you so much pain (So many wounds remain - yes so many wounds remain) Still I love you to my marrow, with a magnitude, profound And I built a span, enduring, so you'd walk on solid ground (So you'd be safe-and-sound - yes so you'd be safe-and-sound) Chorus B: Can you see it, in the night There on high - there on high? There's an arch, burning bright In the sky, the somber sky Perhaps you can not see it But with love, it long endures And one day it may save you Bye-and-bye, bye-and-bye Yes, one day it may save you Bye-and-bye. Verse C: Oh I know my life is waning, and my faculties are weak My strength is failing daily, and I've lost my grand physique (Now my prognosis is bleak - yes my prognosis is bleak) And though I can not tell you how I feel before I go I know someday you'll cross that bridge, and then, my son, you'll know (Just how much I love you so - yes how much I love you so) Chorus C: Can you see it, through the storm There on high - there on high? There's a refuge, safe and warm In the sky, the windy sky I know that you can't see it, but have faith that it is there I molded it with these two hands, with kindness, love and care So every time you need a bridge you'll know that I am there To carry you to safety Bye-and-bye, bye-and-bye Yes, to carry you to safety ... Bye-and-bye. (Repeat Out) ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" Poetry Contest, John Hamilton, Judge & Sponsor.
