The Bridges Of Life Poem by Michael P. Johnson

We risk in life to suffer loss
Even to find defeat
If when we burn each bridge we cross
Or turn from friends we meet

A bridge can lead to make a friend
Can lead to meet a foe
Can lead us to the rainbows end
Depending where we go

Exploring life with this is view
Keeping an open mind
Each day can start with something new
When eyes no more are blind

I too walked on a bridge one day
On water none could ford
I knew I’d found The Perfect Way
In Jesus Christ The Lord

I thought to walk or there remain
I thought to stay a while
But saw my thoughts were all in vain
When I saw Jesus’ smile

I saw The Truth I heard His voice
I knew and understood
I made that Bridge my life long choice
The stead that stays me good

I come to cross both day and night
I try to always pass
I see the end has brilliant light
Across the sea of glass

So best not burn your bridges down
Just cross them one by one
Perhaps you too may find life’s crown
Through Christ God’s risen Son
