Bridge Builder
July 6, 2008
In memory of my uncle, who is still building bridges.
I saw a man standing tall
Beneath the scorching sun
Building bridges of steel and concrete
' cross chasms too great to span.
I saw a Man hanging humbly
High on a wooden beam
Building bridges of spirit and flesh
'cross chasms too great to span.
A bridge of steel may last for ages
But not so its creator.
Comes the day when builder must himself
Cross a chasm too great for him to span.
Today the builder beneath the sun
Stands by the Builder on the beam
Now together, building bridges,
'cross chasms too great to span.
