A Short Phone Call Away

If things aren't going well,
You know I'm there for you.
Need not to even ask.
A short phone call and I'm
Friend equal to the task.

I'm waiting just to go
Sailing away with you.,
Right into pleasant sea,
Behind you all the way
Like a good friend should be.

A time-out surely will
Bridge over your woes and
Over all sad memories.
Troubled no more, you're on
Waters of calm seas.

I want so much to help.
Will you not let me bring
Ease to your worried mind?
Your pain will leave when you
Mind over matter find.

Congratulations, Joyce, a good friend is all that is needed in many difficult situations, one with a listening ear. Great acrostic.

Excellent rendering of the theme, Joyce, and good rhyme and meter as well. Congratulations! BTW, I have had some poems accepted by cowboypoetry.com recently and see that you and Robert Hinson have some there as well. Cheers, Roy
