The Covered Bridge.

Teresa Whitney

Rhymed
We have traveled many miles,
More then some can say,
Together we shared happiness,
Almost every day,

I recall the bridge we crossed,
The one we now call love,
It connected us together,
Like the bridge with all the doves,

A mighty ole beaten path,
Is what we traveled on,
Day by day we continued,
Our love now heard in a song,

Yes we have traveled many miles,
But the bridge I love the best,
This is where we stopped awhile,
And this is where we rest.
