Once a Man stared over the sea And contemplated the Forever. He decided there was beauty there, So he set to crosssing over.
For years he worked his simple hands, With his mind set to his task, Working tirelessly towards his goals, He continued, on and on until- It stood before him. The Bridge sailed beyond the sunset, And landed somewhere in heaven's fence. He was sure he caught forever there. Isn't that something? Something to be shared? And share he did, with his closest friends, but They scoffed, and laughed, looked at him As if he was crazy. But then They saw it for themselves. The fretted and played, terrified Of what they might find in crossing, Who wouldn't be, you see? Forever's a mighty long time. A mighty long time, indeed. So to comfort them, he set them up Two by two to go. Then watched as they crossed, Hearts hopelessly lost- Until they faded, far from sight. The man looked around, proud of his deed His friends had finally been shown. Then started to cross, but stopped- He had realized forever was a mighty long time- And he was now alone.
