I Build Bridges – (Roselyn Maneipuri)


 * I build bridges.
 * Bridges that must connect,
 * Bridges that must relate,
 * Bridges that readily forgive
 * Those that hurt me sore.
 * Bridges that heal our self-inflicted wounds
 * Bridges that mend and bind our hearts always!


 * I build bridges.
 * Bridges that must expose,
 * Bridges that must reveal what’s inside,
 * Bridges that look you in the eye,
 * And say, ‘You’re no different to me!’
 * Bridges that continue to chip out this selfish pride
 * Bridges that draw us closer as partners of hope!


 * I build bridges.
 * Bridges that must always let me
 * Truly touch those I meet along the way,
 * Know and love so much.
 * Bridges that must cut off this selfishness
 * That wanted so much to detour me from
 * Bridges I ought to build and cross over many times.
 * Bridges that need to reach beyond races and creeds!
