If You Were Afraid

If you were afraid of thorns
You could not collecet a red rose
to present to your lover….

If you were afraid of an accident
You could not ride a car 
to reach a destination……

If you were afraid of snakes
You could not walk in green fields
to grow crops…….

If you were afraid of death
You could not go to war
to protect your motherland…..

If you were afraid of labor
You could not earn money
to live in this world
