The Bridges We Built Poem by Nikunj Sharma
The Bridges We Built
They stood there firm
As if to confirm
Their residual strength.
The cause,
The purpose they represent.
Undaunted by corrosion of worldly blows;
Through their foundation the river still flows.
The currents of passion;
The torrents of nature’s crime;
They have withstood
The test of time.
Banisters broken, footsteps ashen;
Creaking floor;
Foul odor.
The temperate will
To stand still;
When all else gone
They stayed with us
Saying …
We will, we will....
They helped us cross
The river wild
Safe and unhurt
When we were a child
To meet a friend
At ….
The other end
They faced our fire
Emotions, compassion and
The ire
It burnt it hurt
The smoke the dirt
Off went the color
But not the valor
You could burn them all
But not ours
They have been strong
All along
No matter how strong the rivers flow
How wild the winds that blow
They shall stand
Truly grand
Representing our strength, love and
Maybe guilt……
They are the bridges that
Together we built….

the bridges represents relationship..it could be a literal bridge where both ends are connected..bridges should be tough and strong..like relationship, both ends should be doing their obligations..their obligations are to support and to connect and to let everyone safe passing thru..i like the way this poem was written..it reminds me of a very dear friend from distant place..the friendship that we have is a s strong as the bridge that u r portarying in this poem..this is very nice, promise...naizz
