Since the Department of Transportation has agreed to give him this honor, I decided to write this simple poem in Lenny Wilson's honor.

What is a Bridge?

A Bridge is a passage across dark marshes,
a candle lit to ensure safe travel,
Who knows where a Bridge comes from,
But men of character and resolve,
plan and engineer, with sweating brows.
build and persevere, the elevated highways,
Hard won the battles of finance,
made by the donations of fortunes given,
May God's grace shine bright with honor,
For those who creat these precious portals.
