Worries

Poet: Unknown

Take yesterday’s worries
and sort them all out,
And you’ll wonder whatever
you worried about.

Look back, at the cares that
once furrowed your brow,
I fancy you’ll smile
at most of them now.

They seemed terrible then,
but they really were not,
For once out of the woods,
all the fears are forgot.

So hopefully from these verses you will remember the old saying, "don't worry, be happy."
