From a storm-tossed sea, half of the bridge was swept away.
Many left hoping for any means to rescue them that day-.
Stuck on a bridge, who could move or find destinys dream?
Each conjured the how for such-a-rescue, for a survival team.
Sure, there are many ones gifted with not platform to shine.
Their future gifts can be lost, without medicine and wine
Please, dont let this be-! Lives can die-out in humanitys sea
Ones must pay the toll, create a means, and change dire reality.
While once at a bus stop, an old lady asked me for a dollar bill.
Smiling, knowing her need, I gave her a 5-dollar note for-her-fill.
Oprah knew the principle from the ripples of a stone thrown
Thought shed pay for ones behind, the bridges toll shown-.
Actions thus have a reaction, with each deed-seeds to grows.
Of Oprahs' (in-kind) an Internet Angel Network Team flows.
A TV showed a boys take: pay it forward, a revolutionary idea.
That a child could do what no adult did, inspiringly what a thrill.
Everywhere others 'play-it-forward,' paying the toll for comfort.
Acts of grace, scattered over, paying a toll for ones coming after.
