My mind is bloated with pointless fear, <br />In my heart, though, all is clear; <br /> <br />These frightening thoughts, they flood my head, <br />So I'll use my heart instead; <br /> <br />‘Twill guide me on this journey rough, <br />I'm walking blind, so it will be tough; <br /> <br />But a greater asset to me than my heart, <br />Against this foe, these fears, I intend to thwart; <br /> <br />Is you by my side, dear, your hand in mine, <br />Leading me as I walk on blind; <br /> <br />When and if the roles are switched to where I must lead you, <br />Hold fast to me, I will lead you through; <br /> <br />We can go on, I know, no matter what, <br />It just takes faith, though it does take a lot; <br /> <br />But I believe in us, we can beat these things, <br />Hand in hand, dear, a song of triumph we will sing; <br /> <br />It may take forever, then again maybe not, <br />But I have you, and you have me, and the rest matters not.<br /><br />James Cheek<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rest-matters-not/
