Bridge Over Trouble

Contributed by Lilly-Quill on Sunday, 23rd July 2006 @ 04:50:33 PM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems

From a storm-tossed sea, half of the bridge was swept away.
Many left hoping for any means “to rescue them that day-.”

Stuck on a bridge, “who could move or find destiny’s dream…?
Each conjured “the how” for such-a-rescue, for a survival team.

Sure, there are many ones “gifted” with not platform to shine.
Their future gifts can be ‘lost, ’ without “medicine and wine…”

Please, don’t let this be-! Lives can die-out in humanity’s sea…
Ones must pay the toll, create a means, and change dire reality.

While once at a bus stop, an old lady asked me for a dollar bill.
Smiling, knowing her need, I gave her a 5-dollar note for-her-fill.

Oprah knew the principle from “the ripples of a stone thrown…”
Thought she’d pay for ones behind, the bridge’s toll shown-.

Actions thus have a reaction, with each deed-seeds to grows.
Of Oprahs' (in-kind) an Internet Angel Network Team flows.

A TV showed a boy’s take: pay it forward, a revolutionary idea.
That a child could do what no adult did, inspiringly what a thrill.

Everywhere others 'play-it-forward,' paying the toll for comfort.
Acts of grace, scattered over, paying a toll for ones coming after.

I really like this. Good job.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
