The girl was standing before the bridge It seemed so far away But she’d traveled so far and so long Just to see this bridge someday She stood before it finally She looked at it long and hard She looked down at herself Staring at all her battle scars She sat down by an old oak tree Noticing all the beauty around The smell of the fresh water The beautiful flowers on the ground She took a moment to look back And she stared at what she saw A horrible ugly beast filled jungle In disbelief she had lived amongst it all She couldn’t believe she’d made it She couldn’t remember how She remembered all the wars she fought Even though she was so far from it now And although it was only yesterday She did whatever it took to get by Sacrificing her mind and body Forgetting who she was inside She opened her eyes and looked once again Towards the magical bridge up ahead Remembering words her mother had told her She remembered exactly what she’d said “God is only here in the moment Of your truth and reality” The girl walked over the bridge; Becoming a woman for the world to see "I mean that loving you is strange and adored by me throughout..oh no it's you again, blessing you with every kiss..." |

WOW! Beth; I had chills when you read this to me and I do again now! God is doing His Will so wondrously in your life, and your magical gift for poetry has penned His Love in pefect beauty as you are finding the beauty that is within you! I love you! Mom A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Wow, this is almost magical. I really like the style of description that you use here. And it is a really good description of growing up.  (I love that kind of smilie)**No weapon will pierce my heart, no hand will be raised to harm me as long as I write.** ~a_little_girl |

Beth - How lucky you are to have a good mother to tell you the truth, and how wise you are to remember her words! This is a lovely poem of becoming. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Wonderful poem here!! I truly enjoyed this read to the furthest extent possible. Wow, simply amazing.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

I like this  Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Truly gripping...and all too true! Life's journey is a tangled mess to get through, but worth it in the end as long as you don't forget who you are and where you come from. Great work! ~Jamie  I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

What an lovely image! Thank you Beth I really enjoyed this Maree I may know the word but not say it I may know the truth but not face it I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound but turn my head indifferent.

Beautiful Beth...I'm glad I stopped by here and took a peek. Take care. BWA.Your time is here. Take one last look at it, then never come back. This part of your life is already over... [This message has been edited by Broken_Winged_Angel (edited 03-07-2001).] |

What a wonderful poem you wrote here about a self revelation, seems you have found the right bridge to cross and with Gods tender care you will be on the road to true happiness. |
