More Than a Bridge

July 5, 2021

In a small town
built around a canal
you'll find what looks
to be an ordinary bridge

If you're not watching
you might drive past
taking little note
of what's really there

Maybe you spotted it
as you drove over
maybe you thought
“It's just a bridge”

It's more than a bridge
more than pieces of metal
more than simply a way
to get from A to B

It's our breath of life
the heart of our village
the golden thread that binds
our community's web together

So stop for a moment
enjoy our beautiful town
and then you'll see
that it's more than a bridge
