VISITORS


Visitors come in all shapes and sizes

They come with various schemes and tactics

They come for obvious and obscure reasons

They come to take and to give


When fear comes calling how do you respond?

Does he meet “Do not disturb” on your door?

Do you place a “Welcome mat” at the door?

Do you simply slam the door on his face?


Do not dialogue with fear my dear

Nor prepare a table before him

Do not entertain fear

Simply slam the door on his face


Fear is an insatiable guest

Give him a seat, he will ask for a bed

He will take your rest

And give worry in return


He will take you on a journey

Through the memory lane

Via your inabilities and past failures

He will make a mountain of your mole hill

And deprive you of a good night rest


In the morning, he will demand tears

Tears so much he can’t consume all alone

He will invite friends and make a pity party

Destroy your confidence and leave you least hearty


When fear comes knocking at your door

As he will, more often than not

Brace up and kick him off

Do that which you fear to do
