Be Not Afraid

Be not afraid, unless a grain falls to the ground, it remains alone,

Have no fear of things around you, weeds of bad seeds sown,

The grain resting in fertile soil, producing ten-fold again and again,

Sunshine is the light of the world, keeps life growing, till the end

​

We are all God's children; he loves us though we all have strayed

With every breath of life we are given, grace patiently awaits,

A new springtime is possible, even though winter snowflakes fall,

Never too late to weed a garden, even if the fruit is long gone,

All things of the earth had a beginning; one day will have an end,

Soil, tilled, planted, in every season, produces fruit unforeseen,

When all is gone, and old things of importance have passed away,

We will return to the beginning, where the promise of life awaits,

Have no fear of the things of this world, that will not contain you,

In your time on the journey of life, you planted in the fertile soil,

A day at a time, fought the fight, early morning to dark of night,

Be not afraid, I go before you, follow me, I will give you rest...Amen!
