I was watching the documentary about the famous duo Simon and Garfunkel tonight on imagine, and although it has been said many, many times before, Bridge Over Trouble Water is an amazing song. The documentary explored the development of the song, from a two verse gospel hymn, into the beautifully produced anthem it finally became. Although that was very interesting, and gave an insight into the way the duo worked together to produce the song and the album of the same name, nothing can compare to the power and simplicity of the lyrics.
Read them, then read them again, and see how they relate, in such a simple but powerful way, to the role of being there for someone who needs you …
| Bridge Over Troubled Water | |
| When you’re weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all I’m on your side When times get rough And friends just can’t be found Like a bridge over troubled water When you’re down and out Like a bridge over troubled water Sail on silver girl Like a bridge over troubled water Paul Simon, 1969 |
Enough said.
Does it sound sad to say that my Mom is my best friend? I don’t think anyone would describe me as a mommy’s boy, but speaking to her virtually every day, shows me that she is just that, my very best friend.
Determined people of conviction, who stand alone, who pursue their chosen path. Not only are such people good and trustworthy friends themselves, but will also make genuine friends of others.
You cannot judge the quality of another’s friendship by superficial appearances, especially when things are going smoothly.
