Like a Bridge

If there was ever any doubt in your mind You know that I would be the last person to leave you behind Need or require anything, if I have it, I would give it to you, you know I would A trouble halved is a trouble shared, sometimes problems are misunderstood Friend or foe, you know I would treat each the same, in a time of desperation I'm there for you if need a helping hand to save you from salvation Sailing towards you like a lifeboat my friend Right towards your heart and soul, this ship of friendship I send Behind all problems an answer can be found to alleviate pain Like the proverbial pot of gold under a rainbow, is it really there or then again A problem may sometimes not be what it seems, Bridge that gap between the two, you will see, they may just be dreams Over anxiety, tiredness, they can all be thrown into the simmering pot Troubled waters have to settle at some point, would you agree or would you not Water is water, sometimes you drift on a calm, other times, you have to swim against the tide I hope that my words make sense my friend, I hope that you invite them inside Will you call around for a coffee and a chat, just us two alone Ease the latch from your door my friend and call or pick up the telephone Your friend, John, hopefully together, your problems we will overcome Mind over matter is what Mum used to say and she always managed to get through her day

Good rendering of the theme. It's too bad that the system wraps your long lines as it kind of obscures the acrostic part. Congratulations!
