Fear Can Be Felt By The Bravest Of All Poem by Francis Duggan

The so called macho man may tell you he never sheds tears
And he never admits to having phobias and fears
But pride as is said does come before a fall
And fear can be felt by the bravest of all
I know this soldier decorated for bravery
'Tis said there was never one braver than he
A brave man in war and a hero with a gun
But at the sight of a spider he will turn and run
A proud man his phobia of course he disown
There are some things about us we would rather not known
Those without some phobia to say the least few
You might say to that tell us something that's new
To those who admit to their phobias and fears some credit is due
At least to themselves they try to remain true.
