Fear and Love

The great forces of the world are Fear and Love But which to choose when push does shove For jealousy its maddening head does rear When I find that Love is nowhere near But happiness in turn does abide When Love returns and swells my pride Love’s attachment risks loss and tears Ever attempting to increase my Fears So I ponder this question so innate Which force delivers a more pleasant fate? The safety that fear does inspire Forces love its hope retire But with this hope rest so much dear I would be a fool to side with fear For without love to guide the way I dare not live another day For in the safety fear does bring It deprives you of other things And with its light love does glow Allowing life to show and Grow
