The Bridge of Friendship
This poem is set with a black and white picture taken of the inside of an old wooden bridge. The crisscross of the boards creating the support needed and a strong friendship to a friend moving away created this mixture of words.
As we journeyed
Searching for each covered bridge
I couldn't help but think
How these gateways to another road
Stood the test of time
Those bridges are like friendships
Many boards had to be placed just right
Sometimes with a little adjustment
then a perfect fit
Holding each other up through thick and thin
A bond held strong because they
Support each other
The stories that they can tell from the past
opening to new stories yet to come
These bridges have stood the test of time
Just as our friendship will continue moving on
The distance is just another board placed
to lengthen the bridge
Keeping the friendship
Covered and safe
