Bridges

That ‘ lay down your life
for another’
works in many ways.
Just as bridges lay
down a safe path
across tough places,
some people lay themselves
down over tough spaces.
Apprehending, listening.
responding, giving time,
writing, sharing, hugging.
I have felt your presence
in the early hours,
in the shade of trees,
in the midst of tears,
in the cloud cover,
in the shadows
and in sunsets
and moonlight.
You know who you are –
my earth angels
and my favourite music.
