You struggle with right and wrong
I watch and worry so
With prayers I helped along

Who will pray when I am gone

It's sad but true

My teeth I grit
I try real hard

Wasted Worry

You worry.
Your fret.
You get anxious.
You get stressed and depressed.
You think about the worst scenarios.
Yet nothing bad happens.
Life continues on.

Relentless beast

Cancer, a relentless beast, shadows creep,
Day or night, it strikes, no sleep.
A force so dark, yet we rise above,
With fire in our hearts and boundless love.

Premium Member The Carnation

Bright in colour
A glory of love
Zig-zag edges of the petals
A symbol of life-long worry of a mother
Layers of petals 
A symbol of the eternal love of a mother

Worry And Troubles

Worry is stepping stone in life
To help you step forward
But troubles will also become
A stumbling block in life
Making you fall
And burn you
All over your body.
