Crossing (Her) Bridge

Posted on by areadingwriter

Sweaty, cold hands grip the cold rails,
agonized eyes stare at her almost fading trails–
footprints of all she has done,
mud piles of all her missed fun,
holed-patches of all she has lost,
unturned stones of her dreams still at frost.

Waiting lungs heave one deep, deep breath,
shaky foot finally decided to take its first step–
towards a foggy future she has yet to know,
towards a misty tomorrow no crystal ball can show.

With a hoping heart cloaked with lit-up love,
with a warrior soul armored with fearless faith,
she runs and crosses her own unsteady bridge,
away from her yesterday’s oh, so useless weights.

  9. Oh my, this is SO GOOD, Rosey!!! Our Faith must be FIERCE as we step out onto what may be an unstable bridge to the BLESSING God has waiting up ahead. I often think, “I wish I had a crystal ball”–but Faith is better, much better! I LOVE YOU!!!!! ❤
