Hi everyone! This poem was sent to me a while back (7/16/99, to be exact) by my friend, Maddrey. I just think that it's too nice to keep it to myself. So, this one is for all of you my friends & dear ones. Please feel free to share it with anyone close to you, or even to those who are not so close :-) to you. God bless! - Emma

You are listening to: Bridge Over Troubled Water -by Simon & Garfunkel When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind.

A FRIEND IS. . . A friend is one who is not hard to find when you are penniless. A friend is one who makes your grief less painful, your adversity more bearable. A friend is one who joyfully sings with you when you are on the mountaintop, and silently walks beside you through the valley. A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful. A friend is one who warms you by his presence, trusts you with his secrets, and remembers you in his prayers. A friend is one who gives you a spark of assurance when you doubt your ability to fulfill your noblest aspiration, climb your special mountain, or reach your secret goal. A friend is one who helps you bridge the gaps between loneliness and fellowship, frustration and confidence, despair and hope, setbacks and success. A friend is one who is available to you, understanding of you, and patient with you. A friend is no less a gift from God than is a talent; no less a treasure than life itself. A friend is also someone who listens.
