Fear

FEAR

Another one that I love deep, strong and has helped
	me allow my feelings to emerge and be free
Allowed me to bond with another human being instead
	of dismissing and hiding what is inside.
I had grown accustomed to keeping what I feel inside,
	it was a sign of weakness for no one to see.
Then along came Judi and I began telling the world what
	she meant to me and no longer would the fact
	hide
That I was and it was alright to be in love.

She is sick and I am hurt for her but also the fears I feel
	are definitely also for me.
Will we be able to grow old together, or will the Creator
	of all life see fit to leave alone again?
I have been here before, don’t want to go back no more
	being alone is not being free 
And in the end to keep losing the one you love is an awful
 feeling that you don’t won’t ever end
Until you meet again in Paradise.

very true, think we all feel this way that's in a similar position, well some one prayed for me today in church, and they prayed about fear with out saying a single word they knew something was holding me back, and now I am healed I am free, I am not afraid to love or to be loved again, no matter how much I was hurt before God has brought peace right to my hearts door. Amen

This is a sad, poignant but awesome poem. It spoke volumes about love lost #7
