WHAT'S THE USE.

What's the use Of worrying over things
That never come our way.
What's the use Of crossing bridges
That are never crossed;
What's the use Of Sorrowing for things
That are never lost.
Why make life burden with things
That are not really true:
Why not look for happiness
In all we say and do
Looking on the brighter side
OF our daily life;
Avoiding the little worries,
Stunning all the bitter strike.
