Poem For Someone Who Doesn't Like Rhyming Poetry

from your tone of voice I gathered that you might need some encouragement.


if trepidation has got you down and you think there is no one around who cares and sympathizes the whole world round, do not forget that you have found people that will help assuage your frown. so in those dark moments when fright abounds and the rain beats down and the heart does pound just close your eyes and you might hear my whisper sound from all the way across the town:

you're afraid of things you need not fear
and I know you can slay any demon that dare come near
but if you be short on strength and long on tear
just lean my way and lend an ear
and I will give you the courage to persevere.
