Fear Not My Child (poem)

fear not my child poem

Fear not my child

Fear not.

Rid yourself of useless anxieties,

There is more that you can do at rest

than you can ever do fretting about.

Let everything that you do

be done out of love

pouring out of a peaceful heart.

It is not how many ideas

that run through your mind

that matters.

It is the way that you believe.

It is the way that you surrender

to everything that is good

which heaven is showering you

in every moment.

Fear not my child

Fear not.

There is no need for you to hurry

nor for your hands to tremble.

Time stops for love

and love alone.

And I want you to enter

the door that leads to forevermore.

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

Hello, I am a mom. My daughter died this past June. This poem has given me comfort, thru’ the tears I cry for my girl. I loved her so very much with all of my heart. I trust she is now with the Lord. I have put my trust in the Lord that He has enfolded my beautiful daughter, this child of God in His arms. My girl is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Amen.

To laugh often and love much; To win the respect of intelligent persons And the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics And to endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one s self; To leave the world a little better, Whether by a healthy child, A garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm And sung with exultation; To know that even one life has breathed easier Because you have lived This is to have succeeded.
