I always used to ask her;
how could you know a city
you\'ve never actually seen with your own eyes?
she always replied; \" I just know\"
she told me, she was in love
with the Golden Gate Bridge
a truly spectacular sight
she said;
it always had the possibility
to make dreams come true
she saw its beauty
even though
she’d never actually ever been to America
it had created a pathway
people could connect
it\'s a bridge of hope, she’d say
I always imagined it would have been the
cable cars that she loved
or the hills?
maybe even the bright lights of evening?
but it always came back to the bridge
even though I myself
have only ever seen it in books
one day i\'d like to visit
if only to see it for myself
the bridge she always spoke about
then, I could whisper up to the sky
darling mum
“You just knew didn\'t you\".
