Each day we cross 
the bridges of uncertainty 
never knowing what 
we might meet when we get there, 
but we cross them just the same 
as life must go on. 
The bridges of uncertainty 
lie everywhere in our path 
from our first steps in the morning 
to our last steps at night. 
We walk our lonely miles 
never knowing what we might find 
or what our life will bring. 
Sometimes we find love and happiness, 
sometimes its tragedy and misery 
that befall us there. 
Sometimes it is sunshine in the rain; 
they are all there in life’s elusive game 
on the other side of the bridges of uncertainty.
