Crossing the Bridge

I used to dance in your sunlight, But now I crawl in Memories of daises and gumdrops. I don’t want to remember yesterday. I don’t want to remember the smiles, The sweet laughter, The once unfleeting joy. I want to walk the bridge. I want to reach tomorrow Without having to remember That yesterday. I want to conquer the river that Flows beneath me. I want to pass that bridge And all the obstacles before it. And when I pass that bridge I will see you, See you looking back at me, And I will again remember that Yesterday, But it won’t hurt so much Anymore. ©Copyright R. McCarthy
