Day 23 April P-A-D prompt: Write a quit doing what you're doing poem.
Worry? Why?
How does it help?
And who?
Does it stop wars,
Cure disease?
Does it prevent the drought
Or stop the seas?
Does it keep a child
From foolishly erring?
Does it stop the moron
From drinking and driving,
Destroying too many lives?
If worry could heal,
If worry could change the tides,
Still the winds,
Stop the ground from moving.
If worry could protect the child
From harm and suffering,
Keep fools from causing pain,
If.....
Worry? Why?
