The Bridge

Alone in the Desert I quickly become Famished and Full of Thirst
By Body Longs for the taste of Meat and A Cool Refreshing Drop of Water.
How did I end up here, lost, so lonely and dying?
Did my decision not to read the Map cause this Predicament?
I cry out, but it does no Good For no one is Around to hear my Cries.
I stumble through the Desert looking for a way to escape
I search high and low for someway out.......
ALAS I have found a Bridge but it is Broken...
In the Middle I can go only half way.
I must try it is my only hope
I step Out onto the Fragile bridge and start on this journey.
I look down as I count the Boards ahead of me
I step on the Last Board and then I look up to see what if anything
I can do to get across to Freedom.
It is then that I see him, a Man with holes in his Hands.
He is Reaching out for me.
I take his Hand and he bends down and Step by step
Places the Missing Boards onto the Bridge
so that I can Cross.
Who are you I ask?
I am Jesus he says and I and only I can mend the Bridge that
Separates Man from God and all the Wonderful things he has for
them.
