That One Small Worry Poem by Francis Duggan

That one small worry does lead to one bigger does seem true to say
And worrying from you will not keep worries away
But suppose it is hard to feel happy when you are feeling down
And one of the poor on your side of the town
You do not have a job or you do not own a car
With little money in life one does never get far
In a town where many are unemployed and jobs are so few
On saying that many have worries is not saying anything that is new
Money speaks every language why otherwise pretend
And those who have plenty of it are never short of a friend
On the lowest step of the social ladder you are permanently stuck
And it is hard for to smile when you are down on your luck
But worrying does never keep worries at bay
And so many like you in the Human World of today.
