Bridge of Broken Dreams

Beneath the bridge of broken dreams
flowed healing waters in silky stream. 
Who among us hasn't had broken dreams
at one time or other in their life,
and so they could visit the bridge of
broken dreams for solice and advice.
A wise man that lived near
didn't believe it fair that
some had more broken dreams
then others that visited there.
So he would offer wise advice to
those that seemed to have
excessive broken dreams, and yet
it was not only his words that
consoled them, before he sent them
on their way, for in a rustic shed
upon the bridge, there were buckets
of precious stones, and these stones
contained the blessings to heal broken
dreams, and they would work
their magic when one was ready to
cast them upon the silky stream.
Those feeling destitute and alone
could find solice casting a healing stone.
For each stone that was cast, represented
a willingness to let go of the past,
and as each stone was cast into the stream
they gave forth love and healing,
acceptance and self-esteem, and finally
one of the greatest gifts of all, the
precious gift of new hopes and dreams.
