Water running under bridges
We must allow to flow
With the freedom of nature
Fresh and clear below

Let the current wander
Clear away the haze
Crystal clear sparkling
Beckoning to better days

Sometimes we wade the stream of life
Treading oh so carefully
Step by faltering step
Rather precariously

Water not deep enough to swim
Though deep enough to drown
Sometimes the bottom is not firm
We get so bogged down

Water depicts our emotions
Sometimes tranquil, sometimes calm
Sometimes so very tumultuous
We draw back in alarm

If we take a moment to lift our gaze
Look toward the skies
We will see a bridge spanning over us
Then we realise

Bridges save us from the pain
They keep us from the streams
They raise us up, allow us passage
Moving on toward our dreams.
