I Fear Not…

I fear not the wind, nor the angry storms of a mighty sea.

I fear not of anything which is brought forth of humanity.

 A man may come to take my home, or he may even steal my job.

He may strike sore against my flesh, yet he will never destroy my trust in God.

For I crave not of those things which are temporal and will soon return to dust,

I only desire to remain strong and steadfast in Him of whom I trust.

For of this; my life is as a whisper on the pursed lips of fleeting time,

my journey a mere shadow which crosses the dying fields of mankind.

My days were lain forth before the days of our days were even begun,

My paths were determined before the first rising sun.

Therefore I fear not of anything which man can bring my way,

for he, like I…will soon wither on the whispering wind of another day.
