The bridge

There are some wonderful places that I want to be, that my heart never sees, some are on the waterfront, the great lakes, and interesting places for my first date. Some places are near the skylines, other are where the devil meets with the lions, but the most wonderful places are where the village people meet, and water crosses the street and flow into the sea. 

The longest bridge in the world is for your eyes to behold, and your body to be made whole. America did not make it, but the Chinese created it. It spans 102.4 miles across the skies or 164.8 kilometer on your way to heaven, it took four years to build, and it cause the universe to sing.

Come with me to planters' paradise, for that is where they roll the dice; heavens know my heart and the bridge is where everything starts. The bridge is where the heaven bells ring, the bridge is where lovers gather to sing; the bridge is where hearts are broken, the bridge is where lovely words are spoken, and passion comes alive, it adds fire to the night and give birth to a new day.   

There are bridges of all kinds, and bridges that will keep your soul alive, and bridges of our time were built to give us peace of mind. Suspension, bridge, arch bridge, cable-stayed bridge, cantilever bridge, Beam Bridge and a bridge that was made specially for you to tell you when the burden of life will be through. And there is a bridge of the twenty-first century designed to make you happy.

I stand on this bridge alone, looking for a way to get back home; it is where the four bridges cross the street and my heart is waiting for thee; listen to the wind blow and you will know which way the water flows. Open the bridge of your heart and take me to the place where they bury my sweetheart. Many souls are at sea, standing at the bridge waiting for thee.  

The foot bridge that runs across the village farm was where they stole my childhood heart, but today the bridge is no longer there but the memory languishes there. Meet me at the bridge at three and help me cross over the sea with thee.
