Why I Am Afraid

Mother, I love you
Father, love you too
Sister, cat, friends
And other family, I love you too

You are all my world
My sun, the reason I awake
My shield, my protection
The smile upon my face

You are the ears who listen
The eyes that see beyond
The arms that hug and comfort me
My shoulders to cry upon

I cannot live without a world,
Or forever embraced in night
Without a shield, I would get hurt
Never smiling would be a sad sight

So never leave me, friends, family, cat
For I have lost before
Never do I want to face again
Death knocking at the door

And for the lost ones in Heaven,
Know you are still here
In my heart, forever more
Whispering your blessings in my ear

So stay with me, stay with me, loves
And I will hold you dear
For I love you all so much
And fear the day you disappear
