Between home and primary school mother built me a little bridge .

She said it was built only for me and  not to tell other kids  .

When I was in class I walked over this bridge and into space  .

On the other side of the bridge I saw my Mothers friendly face .

Each time I went  home it gave me the ability to be strong .

The bridge to my Mothers heart and mine are more than a lifetime long .
