A fragile bridge
Connects me to you
It’s as simple as love
Though not nearly as new.

It’s been stronger than storms
That have blown in from sea
There were times that I thought
Waves would wash the bridge free

But the bridge still stands
Maybe battered and old
Some may think it looks broken
A bit lifeless or cold

But the bridge has grown roots
It’s deceptively strong
It may stand there forever
Or I may be dead wrong.
