Scared

Scared to fall. I heard this song and it spoke to me.

tremble me
slowly
meet me
half way
to the floor.

come crash
and tumble
catch me
before it's
too late.

we're both scared
we've both
been somewhere
near here before --

chances are something
better taken,
than left behind
as regret.

chances can be hard to take when we get older...from the pain we want to refrain and play it safe...

but too much might be missed if we do that...we don't regrets of "what could've been"---

[Lyn Anderson]

You are right, of course, but it is, of course, much easier said than done.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, like that sixties song by the Essex..."it's easier said than done"---
