Default The Bridge Builder

This poem came to mind regarding this site. There is a really awesome cosmic vibe between people here, as I've yet to see a single critical, unkind, or insensitive post you encounter other sites. This poem is what it's all about.

Check it out, one of my favorites: The Bridge Builder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

THE BRIDGE BUILDER
An old man, going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned, when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,
"You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide-
Why build you this bridge at the evening tide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head:
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today,
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.

This chasm, that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."




Here is the poen and about the author. I find it wonderful you feel this about our site. One thing you might not know: I have been going to many sites and asking them to participate in our joining of sites. Where I have the option in my personal description I have described my self as a "Bridge Builder" to help with our cause. This is pretty amazing you, as a new member have felt this about our fine site. That is what we wish to be. This means it is working, folks! Thank you all!

"The Bridge Builder" is a poem written by the acclaimed author Will Allen Dromgoole "The Bridge Builder" is often reprinted and remains quite popular. It has even graced plaques on real bridges such as the Bellows Falls--Vilas Bridge in Connecticut. It continues to be quoted frequently, usually in a religious context or in writings stressing a moral lesson. It is also a favorite of motivational speakers.
"The Bridge Builder" is also used by many Fraternities to promote the idea of building links for the future and passing the torch along for the next generation.
