Fear
Let's be honest.
There is no small measure of fear here
as we wonder what might happen.
Those who sat in your chair
before you
they too knew fear.
They also wondered
how things would turn out.
Like you they knew uncertainty
and overcame it.
That which was once lonely
becomes shared conversation.
"Oh, you too?" we hear.
"Yes, me too," we say.
Together we face tomorrow.
What language is this?
The language of life.
That's what we speak here.
And that's what we learn here.
