Bridge Over Troubled Waters Acrostic

Bridge Over Troubled Water Acrostic
Dr. James E. Martin
©February, 2014

If you ever wondered why
You could not figure it out,
Need one come and with you cry?
A friend with a lot of clout.

Friend to friend conversing,
I'm not quite sure what about,
Sailing beyond useless cursing
Right tone without a shout.

Behind the scene there’s erected
Like steel to steel is bound,
A bond few would never know.
Bridge to bridge connected
Over silence yet to flow.

Troubled hearts each in tune
Water from all eyes trickle down.
I wonder if  any are immune
Will with no one love be found?

Ease into the heart of your friend,
Your troubles leave behind.
Mind your emotions and the victory win!
