Fear

When I think of the things I'm afraid of, All of my fears and worries flood my head, Their screams steal my focus from things above, Some mornings I cannot get out of bed, Panicking as I look for a way out, Acting confident as I go about, Nobody ever knows I'm so afraid, Sometimes I feel as though I'm worry's maid, Then I listen, and He says, "Do not fear", And then He reminds me He's always near, Every worry suddenly flied away, My fear no longer messes with my thoughts, All this is so because God loves me lots, I no longer fear the things of this world.

Such a beautiful uplifting piece Christine, with lovely rhyme and flow too. I sympathise with you on your fears, as I've had a severe stammer all my life (now in late 60s) so I've experienced many fears over my life. Welcome to PS and trust you're enjoying life here, many blessings from Scotland, Gordon

I am 81 and wonder when it's my turn to trudge the tunnel towards my destiny. It's the way we live. Lovely poem.

Fear is only one's brain telling you it does not know about something and the way to conquer fear is to find out what it is that you don't know! As one example, when you are walking alone at night and hear footsteps behind you, look to see who is following your rather than panicking and trying to "outrun" the unknown! Aloha!
