Bridge

A Major bridge across the river Thejaswini Was a life dream of our forefathers who left us In their life time the dream was not fulfilled Now the ambition is already came true No more there will be drowning death Capsizing the country boat we travelled No more there will be patient death For want of a timely medical aid from the doctor Opportunities aplenty for our little ones To study in the distant colleges or schools The villagers are in a happy mood They made it a big celebration of inauguration Fire works were there as also the drum beats The powerful administrator came for the function The happiest event we have seen there The river boasted its might and power Through its floods, and heavy waves in summer It took the valuable lives of the people Without a guilt or sympathy on us Still our efforts to construct a bridge Continued for throughout the years It has became a reality and progress That we enjoyed from our innermost hearts Thousands of footsteps will be passed by Through this bridge in the coming years Thousands of vehicles will be plied through Without remembering the efforts that taken The world is moving fast and the people also Generations will come and go fast As also cultures and living habits Still someone will remember the function Through the engrave of names in the granite That we have provided in the function But there will be no names of the laborers Whose blood and sweat made the bridge Whose sacrifice fulfilled our long dreams We will part the details to our followers who is the inheritors of our efforts Surely the memory of the precious laborers will be in their mind throughout their life Let this new bridge may be a new beginning An inspiration for generations to come An inspiration for cultural awakening Remembrance of efforts and hard work Will not be in vain if there is a will Let us walk fast and try for a future where hurdles will be changed into positves This happiest moment will be a proud memory.
