I’m building a bridge to heaven
Starting out on my knees in prayer
Using the tools my parents gave me
Combined with blessings from above
The first tool is truth and honesty
Respect for all who share the light
Setting an example for those who don’t
By taking active part in a righteous fight.
The second tool I’m using is decency
Caring compassionately for my fellowman
Helping the sick, aiding the poor
Offering hope whenever I can.
The third tool is a salute of honor
Respect for decency, courage and pride
Supporting those who defend our country
Remembering those who have died.
The fourth tool is the greatest one of all
That helps to mold the person I strive to be,
GOD, reaching out his hand to uplift me
To endow me with kindness and empathy.
The fifth tool is me, myself, and I
The caretaker of this temple God supplied The one who must nurture my busy brain
With wisdom, purpose, achievement and pride.
Yes, I’m building a bridge to heaven
Only God knows when it’ll be complete
When I’m finished and God calls to me
I know my bridge will be my greatest feat.
A BRIDGE NOT MADE BY HANDS BUT BY FAITH AND GOD'S LOVE...THE KIND OF 'STUFF' THAT WILL LAST FOR ALL ETERNITY. DONE VERY WELL AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING AND LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
Extremely powerful penning, gave me good chills.
"Yes, I’m building a bridge to heaven
Only God knows when it’ll be complete
When I’m finished and God calls to me
I know my bridge will be my greatest feat."
Jeanette loving hearted and I know you write of the truth, I feel this very way. Humming thank the Lord for the blessed day He gives us.
Jeanette, I found this to be such a rewarding and uplifting writing...we all need to build bridge's of hope, love, and reaching out to others. This is indeed inspirational and a great message.
Praise the architect and the masons that work to build bridges like Yours... Poetic magnificence abounds through the lines of "I'm Building A Bridge" ~ singing to humanity and grace.
A most inspiring poem for all of us to contemplate who burn our bridges behind us never knowing the day when God will ask us what we have done with our life.
Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
