This Too Shall Pass Poem by bryan wallace

If you have ever felt
That the cares and troubles
Of the whole wide world
Have knocked on your door,
And have draped themselves
To leave you feeling
Like a ten ton millstone
Is hanging 'round neck -
Slowing and weight you down,
Holding you back -
A heavy burden to carry
From which you can see
No escape!

Remember that -
This too shall pass.
Our worst fears -
Are rarely realised.
What seems important today
May not be so tomorrow -
Why worry ourselves so!

The broken car -
Can be repaired.
The broken bone -
Though painful -
Will heal in time.
Rows with our friends -
Bridges can be built.
The spilt milk -
Can be replenished.
Remember that -
This too shall pass.

We are here today -
But may not be tomorrow.
Our lives are short -
Why should we -
Waste our lives
With stress and worry?

Remember that -
This too shall pass.
