Icy Bridges
Icy Bridges
We stood upon an icy bridge that day
saying vows not knowing the road ahead.
Blinded by love we could not see our way
upon an icy bridge that day we wed.
What we had was a blended family
His four kids and my four kids gave us eight.
If I knew then what I knew now I’d see
That icy bridges lead to a cold fate.
Vietnam came with him when he came back
He suffered like no human ever should.
Agent Orange does not wait to attack
Still he fought this war like other men would.
Beware bridges over troubled waters
For some lead to grief and endless slaughters…
