Love Poem: A Fence, a Bridge and Me

A Fence, a Bridge and Me

The fence on which my feelings pause
Forever will be lost for cause
For should it stop my love to flow
Would pain me more than I could know 

For fences keep out or keep in
To build one would be such a sin
And should one born to me exist 
It’s time to let it be dismissed 

A bridge, far better to be built
With no embarrassment or guilt 
Where differences can meet to learn 
That bridges are not meant to burn

Perhaps then I can follow through 
On feelings that I have for you
Though you think differently than me
It’s not just difference that I see
