Hey! This is an original song written by Steve Roslonek and sung by Mariel Ross, from my first-person perspective. It's a song written from myself to Jess and I listen to it all the time and the lyrics are evidently significant so I thought this would be more than the perfect place to share them...

Bridge To Terabithia
Hey Jesse, where you running now?
You wanted to be the fastest in the 5th grade
I was just the new girl
But you let me run anyway
You may have lost the race
But you won a friend that day
Hey Jess, I know it wasn't always easy
Grown-ups didn't understand you
And kids could be so mean
But you and I together
Built a world so far away
Where dragons flew
And giants grew
A place for all our dreams
We built a bridge to Terabithia
Full of castles and magic things
We can be anything we wanted to pretend
We built a bridge to Terabithia
We were the King and Queen
And Jess you should know
It's not too late to go back again
Hey Jess, I'm watching from here
It's always great to see you when you smile
The grass is looking greener
On the other side
Remember it only gets that way
After the rain falls awhile
I know you've been feeling sad and worried
That I had to go so soon
Jess, there ain't nothing let to be afraid of
I'm looking out for you
If you're feeling lonely and lost out there
If you ever need an angel to lean on
I'll be there
We'll build a bridge to Terabithia
We'll be never ending friends
Under the rain
Over the river
Through it all
We'll build a bridge to Terabithia
We'll be Kings and Queens again
Whether it's real
Or just a dream
Maybe it's somewhere in between
Wherever it is,
We're building that bridge to Terabithia
