Notes About The Poem

Afraid - He Is the Way

Afraid of dying… He holds the keys to heaven
Afraid of losing – a job, a home, a heart…
Remember He is always with you, comforting, 
Reassuring and reminding you of your blessings
Afraid of creepy, crawly creatures… His rest
Calms and caresses the soul who knows Him
Afraid of fire and hell – salvation lifts the heart
Afraid of the dark – remember He is the light
Brighter than the noonday sun in the heat of the day
Afraid of blindness, living in pain, being in agony…
Remember He comforts the heart in distress
And gives support in old age, to the end of the age

Afraid? – Remember He is there with you
Always kind, reassuring and edifying
Always a light to guide you through the night
Brighter than any star gleaming quietly
And stronger than any sun in hues of silent dreams

Afraid? – Listen Up! He is there, no farther away
Than a simple prayer – asking for His grace – through faith

Afraid?... He is the way!
