When there is fear...

Life’s trouble when there’s fear

Future’s apparitions appear

They sing and dance in the present

While we cower, tired and spent

If we allow in fear’s rant

Light of reason will turn scant

There is a high price to pay

To get back one carefree day

We aren’t that weak, to allow in fear

On our divine heritage, that’s a smear

Trees brave the dark, why can’t we?

Why be frightened when it’s too dark to see?

Life hangs by a silvery thread

When we behold its beauty, there’s no dread

Future welcomes our fears

Why give it our precious years?
