Shadow Hamilton Poet Acrostic

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

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.

Robert Rogers February 15, 2014 at 1:34 PM 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 Shadow Hamilton February 15, 2014 at 3:14 PM ty Robert hugs
