Crossing the Bridge
Happy National Poetry Month Day 7. I’m so excited a whole month is dedicated to poetry! I hope you are enjoying reading and listening to my poems and writing/sharing your own poetic thoughts.
The poem I’m sharing today is from the anthology titled Poets of Madison County.
Proceeds from this book are donated to Dove Harbor, a long-term transitional shelter for women and women with children who are facing crisis. It is also a faith-based organization with a mission to provide hope and healing in the community.
Crossing the Bridge
Kathy Chaffin Gerstorff
Who would have ever guessed
all those years ago when I read
The Bridges of Madison County,
that I would become intertwined
with that world in the most peculiar way.
We all have choices to make
that determine our destiny.
I could have walked away
from my responsibilities,
pursued my dream
of moving to Nashville,
to become a country music queen.
But, I stayed and let the words in my head
become the songs in my heart.
And now, life has come full circle.
I am once again making a choice,
crossing the bridge this time
to become a poet of Madison County.
Thank you for reading my poems and stories. I am an indie author into personal…
