Worry

Worry eats your energy and robs your peace of mind 
It brings about anxiety so you cannot unwind
It takes away your happiness, it steals away your joy 
And left unchecked eventually your health it will destroy 
So learn to stop the worry as it only serves you harm 
And make the time to meditate to find your inner calm 
For your mind is the driving force in how you will progress 
And so that inner chatter is the thing you must address 
Your thoughts can either set you free or keep you chained in fear 
So take back all your power and make worry disappear

Wise words, Anne, we would all do well to adopt. As the old adage goes, thought, like fire, is a good slave but a bad master.
