Building Bridges

 
When walking through life
Or as some of us do, moseying through
We encounter many different obstacles
Many different terrains
For some time now I have sat by the edge of a wide river
Silently and in solace I have waited
The waters rush past as I gaze to the other side
Here the banks are lush with green life
I cannot see what mysteries the other side holds
I cannot understand what I have not yet experienced
Though I find comfort in where I am
I stare across the waters
I yearn to walk where I never have
Yet I do not know a safe path to cross
I do not know what I will encounter
To find a safe passage I must seek assistance
I must find someone that knows how to cross
Someone that comes from the other side
Someone that is not afraid to touch banks
Someone that sits on the other bank and watches
Looks to my side and seeks safe passage
Together we will help each other
Together we will build a bridge
Build a bridge that spans the river
Build a bridge that joins the two banks
Together we will build and take a journey of discovery
Let us build a bridge
