Timothy's Bridge

You built a bridge We met in the middle It seems we went nowhere Perhaps if I crossed over Lived in your world Maybe then I could see Eat your food Drink your thoughts Really see what you see You accept my invitation Cross the bridge to my side Your heart open wide The next thing you know Other people would flow Going to and fro A bridge to somewhere A route to become friends People are people at both ends

That is so true. There are people at both ends. We all have minds, we all have hearts and we all have souls. maybe we could all be friends if we gave eachother a chance.... Thanks for sharing....... Lucilla

When Christ returns this will be the new reality. In the meantime we can do our best to spread his love.

"Like a bridge over troubled water, I'll lay me down" Do you remember the song? Lovely write, here. I'm glad you called it Timothy's bridge. He is so thoughtful. Your poems never cease to amaze me, Richard. You write in so many different styles and so many different topics. Fantastic.

I don't know how to express how I feel right now - I am touched that I once again inspired you - this is really a fantastic piece! "people are people at both ends"... that should be some profound quote said by someone famous! I'm faving this, not simply because it's about me, but the words themselves are something very close to how I actually feel. Open-minded is something I always strive for (though I don't always achieve that and get stuck in place). Absolutely love this!
