Crossing the Bridge In looking back.. Down the road of life.. Everyone has a bridge... They have crossed... A path they have walked... Or a place the road took them... That they never expected it to go... In walking across that bridge... Into that deep place within them... They found something special... A once in a lifetime experience... A joy...a fulfillment... That can never be duplicated... Can never be forgotten... And lasts a lifetime... When I am looking back... Over the roads I have traveled... The paths I have taken... And remembering that bridge... I crossed once upon a time... Was it so very long ago... Or only yesterday... I will remember... The thrill... And the joy of anticipation... I felt that day... And I will carry it with me... Always... And when my time... On this earth is done... And I walk into the next life... Where I will walk a new path... Travel a new road... Experience a new life... Cross another bridge... I will take you with me... And the memory... Of that bridge... One day... I will stand there... Once again... And wonder... Should I walk... Across the bridge... Into the joy... Or stand still... And then wonder... All of my life... What might have been... I know the answer...In my heart...With A certainty... That my soul has always known.. I will cross that bridge... Because I have that memory... To take me there... Joy will give my feet wings... As I step into tomorrow... And into your arms... But cross that bridge... I will.. Wait for me there...
