A Toast I went to the Bridge of Tears today A place of sanctuary,a place of peace Had things to talk about ,things to say You can no longer hear my words My thoughts will have to please So many things have happened,so much has changed We were in our own little world when we walked in the rain We talked of our journeys,and how to grow The joys,the laughs,the tears And the pain you will never know So here I am at the Bridge of Tears again This time with no direction,with no being I raise my glass and drink a toast to you A toast of tears,of sorrows,and joys A toast of things that were,and are to be A toast to us forever and always Farewell to you,my heart,my love Farewell to the Bridge of Tears May I never pass this way again |

Michael,
This is such a heart felt poignant poem, it brought tears to my eyes. I could feel your loss, your anquish and your coming to terms yet reluctant to totally let go, and I understand. You have conveyed such deep sentiments that it brought this reader to the point of saying "if only I could help you heal" but alas that is a journey that only you can take. My thoughts and prayers will remain with you. Thank you for shareing this emotionally well penned poem with us. I can find no nits nor would I when this is on such a personal level. God Bless.
Lora
