Jeff Morehead Poet Rhyme

Fear

Fear

I don’t fear getting older,
I fear losing grace.
I fear for the day,
That I can be replaced.

I fear of another,
I fear losing time.
I fear for the hour, 
When you will not be mine.

I fear of being lonely,
I fear an empty house.
I fear for the year,
Of just me and my spouse.

I fear like all other fathers,
When their sons go away,
And make life on their own,
On some distant bay.

I fear for the quietness,
Of a once busy little boy,
Whom I could watch for hours,
Playing with a toy.

I fear for your mom and I,
When that time finally arrives.
When there’s no little child,
To fulfill our daily lives.

I don’t fear getting older,
I fear losing grace.
I fear for the day,
When I will be replaced.
