don't start to Lake Kerr, but if you
want to come, why have your life in

on. You are welcome One man here

running his car. Does that speak
well for the roads?

If you worry about the future,
And the past brings vain regrets,
Your chance grows small
To succeed at all,
For today you place your bets.
If you ponder on tribulations
That threaten you in advance,
Your hopes grow dim,
And your future slim,
For today you get your chance.
If you worry about tomorrow,
And live in some ghostly past,
You'd best forget
The troubles you've met,
For maybe this is your last.
