"THE BRIDGE"

Shel Silverstein

This bridge will only take you halfway there 
To those mysterious lands you long to see: 
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs 
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free. 
So come and walk awhile with me and share 
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. 
But this bridge will only take you halfway there- 
The last few steps you'll have to take alone.
