That Bridge

by Yeshi Gemaneh
(Oakland, CA, USA)

I would have been sunk without
That bridge
I would have been cut off without
That bridge
That bridge carrying humongous
Luggage
Track and train reluctantly traveling
To their destination on that bridge
Farm products transported to the cities
To the consumers with that bridge
Crossing ocean, sea or lakes possible
With that bridge
Automobiles racing on that bridge
To begin and end their aim
Cities, towns, and villages connected
With that bridge
That bridge is a bridge for countless
To be united
That bridge deserves gratitude
For the relentless services offering
We too are bridges for one another
At times we forget to say, “Thank You.�
