Robert Johnson Poet Acrostic

Just Tug

IF the answers fail to come.
YOU should never fear.
NEED is not just for the young.
A hand is always near.
FRIEND, just call, I'll be right here.

I'M only a reflective glance.
SAILING by your side.
RIGHT or left it doesn't matter.
BEHIND the shadow, you decide.

LIKE afternoons basking in sun.
A warmth is never far.
BRIDGE the gap deep in your heart.
OVER come the past that doesn't part.
TROUBLED time's don't need to win.
WATER can cool the heated sin.

I have time as God allows.
WILL be here when you need me.
EASE your pain as best I can.
YOUR only lonely out to sea.
MIND the helm and you'll be free.

For the acrostic contest
