AA Thought for the Day

July 29 2003

Fear

This short word somehow touches
about every aspect of our lives.
It was an evil and corroding thread;
the fabric of our existence was shot through with it.
It set in motion trains of circumstances
which brought us misfortune we felt we didn't deserve.
But did not we, ourselves, set the ball rolling?
Sometimes we think fear ought to be classed with stealing.
It seems to cause more trouble.

Thought to Ponder....

Live each day with a little less fear and a little more faith.
