A Bridge Called Love

It takes us back to brighter years,

to happier sunlit days,

and to precious moments

that will be with us always.

Just a little hope is needed
like a ray of sun
shining in the earth

like the taste of wet stone
in the water
like a fish leaping
on wet sand

And these fond recollections

are treasured in the heart

to bring us always close to those

from whom we had to part.

Just a little hope is needed
like a song remembered
in the throat of a mute
like a sigh
stopped in the chest

There is a bridge of memories

from earth to Heaven above…

like the longing of an insect
clinging to glass
like thirst
drowned in the river-bed
Just a little hope is needed

It keeps our dear ones near us

It’s the bridge that we call love.
