Bridge Over Troubled Water

If you are sad or are lonely You will need a helping hand Need friends to gather around you A cry of help I will answer Friend is what you will always be I'm sailing through rough waters Sailing to you fast as can be Right now I can feel your sorrow Behind you leave your problems now Like they never had existed A problem shared is halved Bridge's are there to help you cope Over time you will learn and grow Troubled mind will then be at ease Water flows washing them away I will help carry your burden Will support and ease your passage Ease and peace will flow over you Your time is now not tomorrow Mind set free to flow like water 02/13/2014 written by Shadow Hamilton Contest: Bridge Over Troubled Water sponsor Roy Jerden I have sat at the table in the pub where this song was written there is a plaque on the wall commemorating this wonderful song and a view of the river as it rushes past in turmoil you can also see the bridge from the table they used.

I really like this a lot "Teach", as I am fairly new to acrostics, it took me a few minutes to figure out that it was the first words in the song that you were using and not the letters in the title...what a dope, I am!...smile. Linda, I love the rhythmic flow of this piece...Nice Work!. xoxoxo//Robert
