From Worrying More Worries Poem by Francis Duggan

We can only learn from the past since the past it has gone
Make the most of your life for time keeps ticking on
Each day sees us nearer to our final day
And worrying will not make your worries go away
The one who can laugh though financially poor is quite lucky indeed
For laughter a friend in life that we do need
The sad sacks of the town few do wish to know
And those who are happy their friends in numbers grow
This is how it is and it always will be
At least anyway this is how it seems to me
Some people they take themselves too seriously
Beyond their own needs in life they cannot see
You do not win friends when of your hard life you complain
And from worrying more worries you only do gain.
