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

Lee, I can see you under that tree, and you loving each other. "this is my place, that gives me my power, a second, a minute, or even an hour, a thing made from nature, so honest and true, my only go to place, when I’m feeling blue " Wow!

"Beyond hope I have built courage Restoration of faith will be my raft Oars of perseverance will paddle me Inspirations will fuel my challenge" is such a wonderful poem in itself, Douglas. Bravo!
