Thats a Rap

I find that I do not despair Please do not think that I don’t care But problems I cannot control I’ve found can really take a toll And so if I must now confess It’s easier to worry less I focus on the things I can And trust Him with the bigger plan All else, just another trap Good night, dear poets, that’s a rap

"so if I must now confess It’s easier to worry less" - I ask people what they get out of worrying? It does not seem to help them.

Profound thought there, my friend, wrapped up in that clever ending. Well-done, maestro. :) gw

Oh, how I can relate to this one, Jeff. I refuse to get sucked into situations I cannot change, cannot control, cannot improve...on and on...you got this!
