A Bridge Over Troubled Waters

If this night you suddenly find you have lost all faith in mankind, need I say anymore, I care. A resourceful comrade, I’ll be -a friend in your dreadful green se-a. I'm willing to help guide your boat; sailing wild, can we keep her afloat? Right now, waves seem brutal, unfair, behind us spite-filled ships bear down like dead weights leaving us to drown. A quick look to heaven reveals bridge of mercy for such ordeals. Overwhelmed, I found when despair troubled me, then I learned to tread water - a sure hand ‘neath my head. I know the pardon He can endow; will faith in mankind help you now? Ease into this slowly and share your forgiveness with stormy souls. Mind, you must give God the controls. written 2/13/14 Roy Jerden's word acrostic contest, judged 3/10/14
