Deadly Bridge

The bridge is very wobbly,

Everybody claims it's safe to cross.

I try not to look down,

The wood is decades old and is covered in moss.

The rope keeps me balanced,

It helps me from falling to my doom.

I just wish I wasn't on this stupid safari,

Instead, just sleeping in my room.

If walk a couple more steps,

The bridge will break and I'll fall.

My family is supporting me,

But, my confidence and I are seperated by a brick wall.

I take a deep breath,

I imagine I'm light as chalk.

I make up my mind,

And start to carefully walk.

As I go step by step,

I open my eyes.

I start to laugh happily,

I've almost reached the prize.

When I go from wood to grass,

I fall to my knees.

I cheer at the sky,

I feel very, very pleased.
