Don’t Be Afraid, I Won’t Hurt You!

[Abbara]

Don’t Be Afraid, I Won’t Hurt You!

Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you!
I am love
Give of me freely
and I will come back to you.
But just by giving
You will be blessed beyond measure.

Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you!
I am anger.
I show you where your boundaries lie.
In this way, I help protect you.
Use me wisely and you will be strengthened.

Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you!
I am fear.
I show you where you need faith and wisdom,
but don’t let me drive
for I will make you lose your way.

Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you!
I am courage.
I reside in the core of your being
and it is I who makes you step forth boldly
into the battles of life.
I am the the very flame of desire
for life and for living.

Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you!
I am simply a feeling
an emotion.
I am not you.
I do not define you.
I am simply your servant.

Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you!
But do look at me
examine me.
Say, ‘Love is present
and it feels wonderful.’
Say ‘Anger is present
how can I use it wisely?’
Say, ‘Hmm, fear is present,
what is it I am to learn?’
Say, ‘Courage is present.
Oh, how I love being alive!’

I am life!
Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you!
