Building A Bridge For Him

An Old Man going lone highway
Came at the evening cold and gray
To a chasm, vast, deep, and wide.
The Old Man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fears for him,
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built bridge to span the tide.
"Old Man." said a fellow pilgrim near,
you are wasting your time with building
here;
You never again will pass this way
Your journey will end with the closing day
You have crossed the chasm deep and wide,
Why build you bridge at eventide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head:
Good friend, in the way have come" he
said,
There fol1oweth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This stream that has been as naught TO me,
To the far-haired youth might pitfall be-
He, too must cross in the twilight dim.
Good friend, am building the bridge for
him"
