Fear

Fear What reason is there for my life on earth? What test must I pass. What lesson must I learn? So far there hasn't been joy. Where is the mirth? Oh, so happy was I beyond this realm. I yearn To play again among the stars so bright Now I must rely on other's joyous laughter My only recourse is to gaze up at night And pray I will be good forever after I endeavor to obey the rule By my thinking I am too sober I am intelligent, not much of a fool Underlying my question, "why am I here"? Is a deep, hidden, subconscious feeling That I will never leave. That is my fear. Copyright © 2004 Lunaria (Lila May Guptill)
