Bridges Poem by Scott Austin
Bridges
There are new bridges
Worn bridges
Old bridges
And even broken bridges
There are stone bridges
Concrete bridges
Steel bridges
Wooden bridges
And even some rope bridges
Some bridges are open
Some have rails
Some are covered
And some even have arches
There are some wide bridges
There are some narrow bridges too
Some bridges are meant to crossover together
While other bridges are meant to crossover alone
Some bridges are meant for light loads
While others are meant for heavy loads
Some bridges are meant to ride across
Others are meant to be walk across
Some bridges are sturdy and strong
Others may be weak and frail
Others may be broken or half gone
Some may even have burnt or are on fire
Some bridges can be repaired
Others may take along time to repair
Some just need mending
And others may just need a little help
We cross our life’s bridges
Once in awhile or maybe everyday
We need these bridges to bring us together or keep us apart
Whichever bridge you will cross
Be sure to keep this in mind
That there maybe someone on the other side
That could possibly be waiting for you with open arms
Words of wisdom that hold so much truth and 4 sure a poem that held my interest enough to get to the bottem line...the message I mean.Nicely done Scott...Great imagery throughout and such a well thought out piece of poetry! Thanx for sharing and take care of U............. =Shelley=
Great poem Scott! And just so positive, someone on the other side with open arms. I'm adding this to my poem list!
There are several types bridges. New to old and covered to broken bridges amaze mind. You have beautifully explained about your perception. Strong bridges are too available. Timely repair is necessary from broken bridges. An excellent poem is shared.10
In a world filled with frozen minds and people alienated by the force of their dogmas, the very notion of bridges to build new connections and repair old ones is most refreshing.
A very fine use of metaphor. May bridges of warmth and compassion be built between people of all races, countries and cultures. Excellent work. As always, Sandra
