Walkers Lock and Key Bridge

Memories hidden in a unique way
Travelers awed by nostalagia
Bridge walkers stopping
Unhurried, unconcerned about time

Making their way slowly
Methodical, meandering, milling teens
Laughing at the ideas they derive from the locks
Smiling because they are together and this is enough

Locking out no one,
Accepting all comers,
Sharing their lives with people of every creed,
Color, religion, of the world and every walk of life

The locks on the bridge
Will be remembered and dreamed of for
Years to come, providing happiness
and lovely smiles on those who remember and were touched.

Thank you WW. I have seen the photo and know one of these bridges is in Europe; do not remember the exact place.

I saw the photograph, and I knew it was of memories, but I thought it was all memories, not truly understanding. Thank you!
