Fear and Love
The great forces of the world are Fear and Love
But which to choose when push does shove
For jealousy its maddening head does rear
When I find that Love is nowhere near
But happiness in turn does abide
When Love returns and swells my pride
Love’s attachment risks loss and tears
Ever attempting to increase my Fears
So I ponder this question so innate
Which force delivers a more pleasant fate?
The safety that fear does inspire
Forces love its hope retire
But with this hope rest so much dear
I would be a fool to side with fear
For without love to guide the way
I dare not live another day
For in the safety fear does bring
It deprives you of other things
And with its light love does glow
Allowing life to show and Grow
