A Bridge of Gentleness
The water is deep
Going forward is worrisome
A bridge would ease the strain
Life could be gentler then
Energy spent is a reserve
Soon it will run out
Life will float a bit
But only for a time
Beyond hope I have built courage
Restoration of faith will be my raft
Oars of perseverance will paddle me
Inspirations will fuel my challenge
That bridge is nowhere in sight
Perhaps my prayers were not taken
Am bewildered without a response
Let alone an empty feeling of abandonment
Without notice light has shown from above
which has illuminated that bridge
that would carry me across high waters
to the shores where life is gentler
