Notes About The Poem

It’s All Small Stuff

Don’t sweat the small stuff,
And it’s all small stuff,
Is sagely advice 
For every stage of life.
From birth to death
Everything seems so urgent
As it slips you by
And the next moment
Simply takes its place.
How can it be so effortless
We cry, 
As we grasp to hold
What is already past.
