If Fear is given all control,
I fear that we may lose our Soul.
For with Fear comes hoarded life,
A primal greed, an endless strife.
Yet if in these uncertain times,
We forgo our historic crimes
And choose to Love our neighbors through,
What endless good such change could do!
Two paths we see
In calamity.
One we take,
Quick to forsake
Our neighbor weak,
Ourselves to seek.
The other way,
Is what I pray
We choose to tread
With love instead
Of panicked greed.
With all I plead,
When danger’s near,
Yield not to fear.
With love our core,
Give all the more.
Do what scares you.
This prepares you
To look at fear,
Allow it near,
So you can greet it
And defeat it.
Sometimes comes “that” day
When nothing goes your way.
Frustration’s here to stay,
And your doubts come out to play.
Allow me just to say
This all will pass away.
While the present seems so gray,
There won’t always be dismay.
No go without delay
Into the future, come what may.
It’s scary to be
Solitary in seeking.
Just embrace that fear.
