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, 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.
