Fear might come when you lie at night,
Scared of things, that is not in sight.
*****
Some fears are bad, and some fears seem good,
They seem to keep and protect us from all that could.
*****
Your fears of the dark and big water slides,
Will someday vanish and surely subside.
*****
I know that now your fears seem bad,
But someday youll conquer and youll be glad.
*****
As old fears die, new fears will come,
And pull us back down until we overcome.
*****
Fears are like tests, through life we go,
Moving on to the next, as we increase what we know.
*****
But until that day comes, when you dry those tears,
Youll need a daddy, to comfort those fears.
