There are so many things around
In life for us to fear..
Like hurricanes and rabid dogs
And zits and lukewarm beer...
The ozone layer disappearing
Totally from view
But you need never fear that I
Will lose my love for you.

Nine point earthquakes you can fear
And spiders, I suppose...
A comet devastating Earth
Or runners in your hose.
A small hole in a prophylactic
Causes panic, too
But you need never fear that I
Will lose my love for you.

There aren't too many constants
In this crazy universe.
We live in fear of everything
From floods to war and worse
But rest assured there is one thing
You can count on as true
And never fear that your sweet man
Will lose his love for you.

So worry about icebergs that shrink
Or that Mad Cows Disease
Or presidents that do their best
With interns on their knees
Beubonic plague may come again.
Who knows? It could be true!!!
But never for a minute fear
I'll  lose my love for you.....

ROFL @ SEA!

Michael, this is superb ... it's far too true that we fear soooooo many things, and yet the simplest pleasures in life we sometimes take for granted.  Never will I take for granted how wonderful your wisdom and sweet words are ... I loved this!  (now what pentamiter was this one??? )  

Best wishes,
/Kit

"We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." Well, that and a few other things as you've so poetically pointed out.  But then like those fab four from Liverpool said "All you need is love." Rump ta da da dump... all ya need is love, love, love is all ya need... Peace Sir Balladeer!

But, maybe someday, I'll get over it (wink)
