Fears
Helen McBean 1978 (Montreal)
Fears
There are fears we have to face
for it's when we face these fears
Change takes place.
And Change is another one we must get through.
But change in inevitable,
although I can't change you.
It's a choice we make.
Then again, some changes are mistakes .
but mistakes like change,
will happen again and again.
So, why do we fear this?
Why are we so scared?
If it's bound to happen
it shouldn’t be feared.
About this poem
