About the Book
It´s Something
How many times have we
walked across that narrow wooden bridge
made for cows
and wagons weighed with hay
to cross our running creek;
a bridge for a boy to sit,
legs dangling,
watching minnows
darting in the sun;
a bridge
I´d never thought to ask
"Who´d built?"
thinking it was always there
like trees, and hills, and running streams.
But often now
I think about
the comfort of his bridge
and quietly thank him,
him long dead.
It´s something to build a bridge,
it´s something.
