Be Not Afraid
Be not afraid
As you climb the hill
Look back behind you
Take in your fill
You've traveled so far
Down life's many roads
Take time for a break
Lighten your load
Reflect on your journey
Take it all in
It's been a hell of a trip
No matter where you've been
Taken so long
To get from there to here
Now you know
There's nothing to fear
Be not afraid
As the curtain is drawn
You've reached the crest
It won't take long

The more I read of poet Mize's words, the more I like them, the more I want to read them. Very good words indeed.
