Fear

Sitting on the sidelines...watching the world go by.

Your life goes by so quickly...the years they seem to fly.

You fear to go out driving...you fear to leave your house...

     Your terrified of snakes and bee's...

          but I'm not trying to tease.

Just give me a moment of your time...

     listen to me please.

You can choose the life you want to live...

     the choice is yours to make.

Fear robs you of your peace of mind...

     your self confidence it starts to break.

Start with small goals...then move those up...

     take baby steps if needed...

What ever it takes...for heaven sake...

     remember you're in charge.

A thought provoking poem, Pam. We are often held captive by our fears. Be well. Sincerely, Brian

Ah! Nothing to fear but fear itself, a bubble of thought, best off the shelf
