Another Poem...Happy Day!

This poem is from my Intro to Literature class, worked on it for a project, so there's a lot more to it than the chipmunk story. (That's for Staci!) In this poem it talks about fear and seeing it from another point of view.

Glory be to God
I have found him and he has found me.
There are those who are too comfortable in public affection.
But without that show we would not know of love's existence.
It is in beauty of the world that love begins; in sunsets and sunrises.
The darkness after though can bring fear. But its end is a beginning of beauty.
Some things that we don't like are as tangible as water or spiders.
Others are more deep than that, loneliness, doubt, and anger.

In all these things there is a beauty that can only be found when a person looks.
It is when we look, there is beauty in everything we do or see.
The emotions that plague us are what make us human, a gift from God.
There is life all around us because of the spiders and the water.
Darkness in our lives gives us hope for a better and brighter day.
See the beauty of affection, the show of love in this world.
Love is what will bring us together, conquer this fear in life.
Glory be to God.
