(((( Fear ))))

By Bud Lemire on Aug 14, 2010

 
I have journeyed from here to there, and there to here
My travels took me everywhere to face my fear
The fear I faced was deep inside
So deep inside I had to hide
 
I hid so well that I got lost
Lost and alone and at what cost
The cost and value was that time
Was wasted on that fear of mine
 
Fear consumed the most of me
I only wished to be set free
Freedom came with changes too
Forever different in all I feel and do
 
Fear is still a part of me today
Although I challenged it when I went away
I faced it again upon my return
And found I had so much to learn
 
I learned of life and what it meant
That all things here were Heaven Sent
As for fear, I can only say
There’s some in my life today
Thanks to my surroundings and friends, I found peace and tranquility
In all that I do, I have found in myself, a much better me

So many of us have some sort of fear in our life. Fear of Doctors, Dentists, Planes, spiders, fear of dying, or some other kind. It takes all we are to overcome these fears. Sometimes we never overcome them, we just deal with them as they come, or we avoid them. It’s not easy living with fear in your life. But fear not, for I understand. For I swam in fear for many years, and had many tears. I battled my share of fears. I still have fear from time to time. But I know I’ll get through it. Because I have friends.
