Bridge of Life

A bridge we build inside of us
From our youth to old age
A swinging bridge quieted now
With a mesh of creepers 
Entwined like our tendril lives.

We paint the bridge in different colours
Like nature’s many hues
For life is better when we meet ourselves 
on a bridge of love and hope 
To stand and cross and reach the other side.

When we are lost and weary
a little disappointed too
The bridge of silver wings will help us cross
And allow the water to flow below
To bridge the gap anew.
