Worry Poem by Thomas Case
Worry
She worries about
everything,
real and imagined.
'What if this? What if that? '
I watched my
Mom
worry herself right
into the
grave one disastrous
December night.
She doesn't care.
She wants me to
worry right along
with her.
And when I don't,
she
gets pissed off.
My Dad used to say,
'They can kill us,
but they can't eat us.'
I share this with her.
Nothing!
Just
worry, worry, worry.
Lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned with insight. Worrying is a mental torture which can be curtailed if one learns to take things and situations in stride. A nice poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
Good reflection on the uselessness of worry. Thank you for the reminder? I like your dad's comment. Worth 10. Thanks Thomas
They can kill us, but they can't eat us.' I share this with her. Nothing! Just worry, worry, worry... for it is a terrible psychological problem.... for some it is compulsive tendency to worry. but these are facts..... but worry does not change anything. it eats up our inner peace..... a very nice poem. an unusual theme.... you hve picked up to write a poetry...... thank you very much dear poet. tony
When you are away you will remember her with her all worries and asked questions.It turns to sweet memory. Very nice.
Your poem depicts everyday realities of many. You have written well. Sad. May she rest well
A true sense of mental state we'll penned as a poetry! What else what else? ts my current time, wishing a more to this lovely piece! Keep writing more!
A wonderful poem. They can destroy us but can never defeat us.... this is the message!
When we worry about "all nothings", we cause worry to others, maybe we are their worry. So, let us "Uddharet Aatman Aatmanam…", lift ourselves from all ills..

Mothers have been known to be worrisome about so many things about the younger members of the family as well as the senior ones. Hundred and one thoughts occupying her attention which again is the outcome of worry. Very emotional memoir.
