Faith: the Antidote To Man's Midlife Crisis

It's raining and the sun has returned home although I am by myself, yet I am not alone mind engages intellect, with time to consider how this heart of mine, has grown so bitter Not long ago, reflections of the past were a delight then in a brief moment, my happiness took flight once having a life with meaning, love and security now with remorse and desire, for a heart with purity Continuing to pursue life normally, while anxieties drown the mind no matter what I might do, any sense of happiness seems confined confused with mixed emotions, and knowing that they are both true yet despite my conflict, still mustering the will to tell her, I love you With each and every passing day, I look forward to behold once again to greet those yesterdays, those yesterdays of old but those yesterdays are buried, the fear of the future takes hold all of what now remains, are those few tomorrows left to unfold Worries must stem from this lack of control, how not to consider thinking of how few years are left to live, could anyone not be bitter the unknown of what the rest of your life will bring, an awesome fear when you advance in years, only then does it become all too clear Times passes, the body ages, memories flounder, and reality sets in maybe tomorrow the mail will arrive, addressed to: The Next of Kin finding yourself in an emotional upheaval, there is but one thing to do forage deep down inside, and uncover your faith, your only rescue Faith will give you the strength, it will guide you to trust in the One above fears of the future and of the unknown, disappear in this world called love experiencing midlife crisis, something you can and will successfully overcome but first never stop searching, trusting in G-d, and to depression never succumb --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
