The Bridge You’ll Never Cross

It’s what you think that makes the world

Seem dull or bright to you;

Your mind may color all things gray

Or may them radiant hue.

Be glad today, be true and wise,

Seek gold amid the dross;

Waste neither time nor thought about

The bridge you’ll never cross.

There’s useful work for you to do

With hand and brain and heart;

There’s urgent human service, too,

In which to take your part.

Make every opportunity

A gain and not a loss;

The best is yours, so do not fear

The bridge you’ll never cross.

-

If life seems drab and difficult,

Just face it with a will;

You do not have to work alone

Since God is will you still.

Press on with courage toward the goal,

With truth your shield emboss;

Be strong, look up and just ignore

The bridge you’ll never cross.

— Grenville Kleiser
