Analysis of My Quest For Serenity



I need to see serenity
Begin to dominate
The way I feel and not conceal
How fear affects my fate.

I need to change and rearrange
How I react to things
That seem to be affecting me
Until my courage sings.

My wisdom lacks when fear attacks.
Where is the help I need?
I do believe God will relieve
If I will let Him lead!
