Defeat Our Fears

I want you in the sunshine and the rain on every day to defeat the pain. I need you around me surround me beneath me above me. I want you in the winter during the fall through the spring and hot summer through the seasons all. I need you to hold my hand let’s make a stand let us fight the tears let us defeat our fears.

I love this poem. You could take it any way you want does the person need another person, does the person need God, does the person need something else?The last verse is the best for me because I had so many fears to conquer and had to stand on my own two feet to do so. I think the way you wrote it leaves the reader to interpret it for their own needs ..great work.

Thanks very much Evelyn. You actually helped me see another way to interpret my own poem. Now that's something!

united we stand, divided we fall...good concept to have, to stand with others as support - but never let them drag you under, a person needs to know when to let go to save themselves.
