Covered Bridges

Wooden bridges, etched in time

With carved hearts and initials inside

Memories only time can tell

Of first kisses

Goodbye wishes

Tragic losses

Penny tosses

Wishes made

Never to fade

Covering wet heads

From the rain, feet tread

Laughter echoing against it beams

Tears shed in streams

A place to hide

with weary eyes

Lost within the cherry stained wood

On a covered bridge, where she stood
