Fear, On The Mend
Why do I fear
My thoughts
Even when
My family is near?
Should I smile
So nobody knows
My pain meanwhile?
I look to the sky,
Fearing the day
That I'll find out why.
Should I fear
The coming day
That I lose
My way?
How do I find
Peace of mind
Knowing that one day near,
I shall lose those
I hold dear?
I'll smile,
I'll pretend
For a while
That there IS no end
'Cause I'm on the mend.
