I long for just one touch of her face
because in my heart she holds a special place.
Even though separated by thousands of miles,
to her she says I bring many smiles.
To show her love that I might believe,
six everyday items belonging to her I did receive.
Little did she know to me what began to unfold.
To me, they were individual pieces of gold.
They are each and everyone a single treasure.
When I am lonely they give to me so much pleasure.
Each a precious gem with my very life to be protected
because she gave them to me the one she selected.
These are tools in my mind and my heart
used to construct THE BRIDGE so we may never part.
These six items represent the nuts, bolts, cables,
beams, girders, and the concrete.
My mind and heart will use these items to
construct THE BRIDGE until complete.
From me these six items no man can take,
because her love I cannot forsake.
They are fine
and they are MINE!
My tools, my gold.
I will forever hold.
My path these six items will they light
and give me strength throughout the night.
Only the loss of her love can lessen their glow
but her love for me only continues to grow.
For a love that is now ALL MINE,
I must now construct
THE BRIDGE!
