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
