John Beharry Poet Acrostic

Bridge Over Troubled Water

If at any time in your life
you feel the desire and the
need for someone to be
a source of comfort and a
friend in all situations

I'm always around for you
sailing on the waters of life
right through the darkest hour just
behind you in fair or foul weather

Like a log on the river banks I will be
a path across for you just like a
bridge stretched from bank to bank
over the raging turbulent river
troubled by the wind churning the
water into a mass of liquid fury

I am right there at your side and 
will always be there for you to
ease all of your burdens and
your fears and to comfort your
mind to peace and tranquillity

Roy Jerden March 9, 2014 at 6:27 PM Very good free verse and use of imagery and an excellent rendering of the theme. Congratulations! John Beharry March 10, 2014 at 3:21 PM Roy, Thank you for sponsoring this contest. Simon and Garfunkel have always been my favourite singers. My special songs are: (1) Sounds of Silence, (2) Bridge Over Troubled Water (3) El Condor Pasa. It was a joy to write this piece. I simply tried to capture in words, the feelings the song evoked in me, while listening to it.
