Why so sad?


1 John 4:18 

18 ”There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear …”

  Why

 

Why are you so sad?

Maybe … you love too much?

Should not you be glad

is not love made of such?

Why are you so scared?

Are you afraid to be hurt too much?

Is not love … that part that dared

that proves you to be with Life in touch?
