snowbridge

Crossing the snowbridge,
oh, it did take me back,

to a simpler time,
when my dream came true.

As the snow flakes did fall,
I could see each one come and go,

each more beautiful than the last,
and yet not as beautiful as the next,

and so life went, so unbelievably,
but I did believe, for I could see

it was so real,
so very real.

But time, it took it's toll,
and stole my dream away,

and this, I could not believe,
as it disappeared before my very eyes.

And I watched it slowly melt
with no power but to watch

in horror, as the beautiful flakes,
turned to water, then vapor

floating up and out of reach,
reach as I tried with all my might. 

Oh, snowbridge,
crossing you today,
seeing your flakes once more fall,

left empty place deep in my soul
hurting evermore
