Worry

Many are the reasons advanced for
worry, g.. &c.,.
Some say family, finance, children
or hurry,
But what ever the cause may be
Worry solves no. problem and
you're never free.
Like all problems worry should be
analysed,
For it's a vicious evil to be de-
spised,
For control of one it has devious
ways,
To bring unhappiness and spares
no days.
When we are distressed by this
form of fear,
It's our problem to prove we give
no ear,
To it's myriad arguments why we
can't dispel
The bug-bear that charms US into
a spell.
An occupied mind won't allow con-
ditions to kill,
An active person who has the will,
To allow nothing to cause them to
fret
Prove worry harmless and some
thing to forget.
We know it's easy to say don't
worry,
But when you're upset things seem
in a furry,
And that's the time stability should
be shown
When harassed by problems you
disdain to own.
Steady myself and conquer this
turbulent problem,
By routing it early and so put a
stem,
On any seeming power for when
shorn,
Its sting, life again appears a glor-
ious morn.
