Fear by Donna Ensign Woods


Palms are sweaty---knees grow weak,
You can't find the voice, with which to speak.
Breathing quickly---eyes open wide,
You desperately search for some place to hide.
Your heart pounds faster…
FEAR has become your Master !!
Dark shadows bar the way,
To torment each and every day.
FEAR of the mysterious unknown,
Pain and disease...and failure shown.
FEAR of failing as a mother or wife,
Or for the many other roles we have in life.
FEAR of climbing to high places…
Or being trapped in confined spaces.
FEAR of wasting talents, gifts and time…
And disappointing the awesome God of mine.
FEAR of far away and lonely places.
Surrounded by cold, unfriendly faces.
FEAR of being alone, lost and crying,
Facing the end...slowing dying.
Filled with FEAR as I knelt and prayed
He softly whispers, "Do not be afraid"
He promises we have nothing to FEAR
Because, He will stay ever so near.
His promise forever shines…
Saying "FEAR NOT"...366 times !!!
