Put Worries In Perspective Poem by Marilyn Lott

Take a little time my friend
Stop look around
Breathe in your surroundings
Hear every little sound

Put aside the pain inside
For just a little while
Think about the part of life
That makes you want to smile

It helps some times to analyze
The worries in your mind
Put them in perspective
For most will fade in time

Fix what is within your reach
And forget it if you cannot
Instead think to the future
For my friend, that’s all you’ve got!
