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".

An idlic view of San Francisco. It has changed so much and is now reeks of poverty but still has the food culture and Victorian homes..
Thank you so much dear Parisab, much like many of our worldly cities at this moment. ❤️ those Victorian homes much be a sight to see though. Florence too is somewhat rough at this time. ❤️
So powerful and beautiful.
Thank you so much. ❤️
Mums are always right, you don't know that? 🙂
Of course I know that. 🤗
What a wonderful ending Teddy
Didn't see it coming
Beautiful write
I'm one of four daughters and she got to see all my other sisters but she died before she could really see me. But I saw her. Thank you dear Peto. ❤️
She sees you now
lets hope you get there one day Teddy.
very touching once more.
Thank you dear Melvin, you are so very kind, I hope so too. ❤️
It really is a breathtaking view....although it's not what it used to be. Mom's always right!!! 💖
She sure was dear Liz, thank you. ❤️
Hi Teddy, hope you are well, been a while! I think that that bridge is so iconic….to half the world it is the city! I too would love to visit it….
Thank you very much for coming by. ❤️
I know exactly what you mean Teddy .. I truly, truly do .. My Mum had a special place too ..
I have been to the Golden Gate Bridge and agree, it is spectacular .. ❤️
Well that's truly a comfort to know Nev, I've never.seen it and neither did she, I do hope one day perhaps when the world finds peace I will travel once more, until then I'll be on the glorious hills of Tuscany. Thank you my dear friend. ❤️
I hear you loud n clear sister T .. my Mum always wanted to visit Florence .. she neva did, but I've seen it for her now, so many times .. I'm off to Brazil next month, but I suspect Florence will always be up there for us both .. ❤️

Living in California for some years I have driven over this bridge and remember it well. A most wistful poem of fancy and wishes that seem to apply to many things in this life. Most lovely Teddy
On my bucket list dear sorrenbarret, although I'll say and we will keep it in writing the day I arrive in San Francisco will be the day the earth quakes at a 7.8 lol that's just the way my life is. ❤️
