Fear

Christina8

I am anxious this cold night

though the reason is not clear

I see happiness all around me

and everyone is in good cheer

 

Yet I'm apprehensive about something

Though it could be nothing I guess

I've learned through the years to listen

to instinct, but it's not accurate, I confess

 

Anxiety is the worst, especially at 

these special times of year

There is no place for it at all,

no place for a thing like fear.

      HI CHRIS ~ Its natural to feel responsible and stressed when there is so much to do and you're the one programmed to do it ~ The UPS and DOWNS of Motherhood ! However the Scriptures says "Perfect love casts out Fear !" You have that not only from GOD ~ but also your Family ad all your Friends on MPS ~ YOU ARE REALLY & TRUELY LOVED ~ AMEN Humungous Hugs ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@

        Christina, love the way you wrote this poem! If you can write like this, I know you will conquer your fears!!! You said it very clearly: There is NO PLACE for fear!

        • Christina8

          I've been trying to conquer my fears but yesterday I just couldn't shake it. And I didn't have anywhere to go. Thanks for your kind reply. I remember and love the FDR quote! Thanks!

                Those anxious moments come to all but in most cases that anxiety ends in laughter not tears. Good write Christina.

                • Christina8

                  It's horrible - the fear, not the poem! ooh. Times of feeling fidgety or oppressed, and sometimes not knowing just why. Fear is often at the root of it.
                  It's as folk say here - the way through it.

                  • Christina8

                    Thanks orchidee! I appreciate the read and your kind reply! Thanks again!

                  • Simple-Man87

                    This was very well written. I actually had a night like that last night. You're very strong at what you do, please stay strong, we all admire it and love reading about it.

                    • Christina8

                      Thanks so much SM for the encouragement! I really appreciate the read and the kind reply. Promise to do my best. Appreciate the support!
