I have always been drawn to bridges and lighthouses. I loved this one over still water on such a beautiful day. As I was driving away from taking this picture, I started pondering on why I love bridges so much. A song came to mind that I truly love. "Bridge Over Troubled Water". It has such a powerful meaning and is a beautiful song and I've always liked it, but once I heard Andrea Bocelli sing it, I was HOOKED. I love his voice and hearing this song fills my soul with so much joy.
When you're down and out, when you're on the street.
When evening falls, when it falls so hard, I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes, and pain is all, all around,
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,
All those dreams are on their way.
See how they shine
If you need a friend, if you need a friend
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
This song means so much to me. We've all had "troubled waters" in our lives and are sure to have more before our time on earth is done. We can never forget to look for that bridge that is reaching over the water to help us. I am so grateful for the people in my life that have been a bridge for me. How lucky I am to have a loving family who is always there for me. I think of friends who have lifted me up, time and time again. But most importantly, I think of my Savior, who is my constant bridge over troubled waters. He has been in my shoes, and felt my pain and knows what it's like to be me. May you find your bridge when the troubled waters come your way.
