AFRAID


A stranger, though kind he seems,
Will not hear me speaking to him.
The sound of an airplane
Lingers in my dreams.

Everything I touch and see--
Even those loved much
Could and may become
Even one--another enemy--

This fear to grasp
What we do not understand--
This fear has overcome
So many in their land.

Must we forever subside?
To be free--
Where do we hide?
May answers come from Thee.
