Fear, is life's companion. <br />And death's from which it springs. <br />So do not drink its water. <br />Refresh in other things. <br /> <br />Life, which has no father. <br />No faith to make its form. <br />Is destined to be famished, <br />As that's the troubled norm. <br /> <br />Life's not born of wisdom. <br />It's born of having faith. <br />For that's the form of substance <br />Contained in every wraith. <br /> <br />Every life's companion <br />Shall fade as time goes by. <br />If man can find the courage, <br />That says you shall not die. <br /> <br />Here is life's true wisdom, <br />That fear may fade away. <br />Believe you have a father, <br />And you shall drink each day.<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-companion-2/
