The Bridge Across My Sorrows

There I stand on the bridge between
The past and all of my tomorrows,
So painful where I have been
On the bridge across my sorrows.

Tears create a river that runs rife
Of memories etched within my soul so deep,
As I see my reflection in the womb of life
That makes ripples as I weep.

It supports me there to heal me some,
Helping to deal with my fears
Then shows me how far I have come
From those haunted yester-years.

Now each day I come to reflect
An existence which follows
The thoughts that I collect,
On the bridge across my sorrows.

This is great poem.  You have the sense to release and admit that you have had sorrows. Some of us wallow in our pride. This is a very nice enlghtening poems as is all of your writing.
Love, Barb

Isobel:  It takes bravery to face your sorrows and conquer them, which I know you have done and are still doing!  Very moving poem!

Dear passing shadows, I am glad that you can relate to this poem of mine.  We all have had bridges to cross.  Going back over them can be painful, but essential to start the healing process.

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, you have overcome and endured so much but despite the tears and pain felt you have grown strong and learned to understand these emotions and this strength will serve you well on the glorious journey ahead for you, yay! (smiles) This is precious, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Isobel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
