Love and Fear: – December 06, 2008
Some say that all life is a stage
At 45 I say it’s more like a cage
Here I stand naked and poor
Stripped of pretense I search for the door
That stage door, a portal
And I a fearful mortal
My strength betrayed by a tear
My days often governed by fear
The stage’s egress before me
Will my curiosity restore me?
My life so very stale
Can stepping beyond alter this tale?
The Word once said that perfect love casts out fear
And He promised one day to wipe away each tear
The door to the stage bars me in
Dare I open it to fly yet again?
Fear is a door
It bars the way
Love is courage
That saves the day
The door blocks my view
Love’s vision can see right through
The door traps me here
Love expands life’s sphere
Fear is a door
And unopened shrivels the soul
Love is a conqueror
And hands me the hero’s role
Fear, a stage door
Shrinks my world
Drowns visions and dreams
Love, He is my God
Guards my heart
Fills my eyes with heavens gleams
Oh fearful door infernal
Meet my God eternal
You are naught before Love
His dreams now my hope from above
Fear the door that traps us here
Love the friend that expands our sphere
