Lock your doors
Board the windows
Leave the lights on
Close the blinds
Pull the cover over your head
Shut your eyes
Harm has been sealed outside your home
Yet terror has already penetrated your inner fortress
And will momentarily let harm in through the back door

Yes, fear always has a way of sneaking in, doesn't it? Well done. Chris

"Hope" is the thing with feathers-
that perches in the soul....

It is a shame.  Fear can become a live thing.  Joyce

Great analogy...of course courage is fear thats said it's prayers!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
