The bridge beckoned
"Come; test your strength
Can you cross over me?
Can you cover my length?
Come now, answer me..."
Haltingly he took the steps
To make it to the other side
Slowly but surely; yes
He crossed that great divide
Steadfastly he walked across
Step by step; he conquered
Step by agonising step; he found
The courage to face the challenge
Never looking through the gaps
Down to that lower ground...
Finally he was back again
At that beginning of that ride
Saw me watching him as he
Looked right back at me: with pride
