why be afraid
fear is such a crippler
what's going to happen is going to happen
the deck isn't stacked in anyone's disfavor
those are just catch phrases born of someone else's
paralysing fears
and ridiculously passed on to perpetuate further
weakness in other men to follow
ribbons of sorrow are made to break
but the cables of one's faith anchor him to his
own inner truths and the world can not rob him
of his golden core
for the Lord alone is our treasure
his Son our great good ship
the Holy Ghost our vast, vast ocean
as we sail through the extensive horrors and
wanderous joys that make up this voyage called
life that we have been given
for what ever the reason to live
so do so
I bid you
LIVE
and LIVE thus so
to the best of your ability
why squander a glorious present given to you
by your GOD himself
for NOW is his gift
and all eternity is his great love's unalterable
promise............
