Mister Fear

Mr. Fear Hello, my old "friend," Mr. Fear, I see you’ve brought your butterflies; You have stiffened the stomach And tightened taut the eyes. What will I find in the reaches of my mind, Some mystery mean of the unanswerable kind? The goodness of God is very near. A prayerful petition will securely you bind.

Thank you, Andrea. I do hate those butterflies - they're not the beautiful kind!
