What good does it do
except hang around
like super glue
causing nothing but
jitters in the belly
upsetting the gut
Your head’s a tornado
spinning
up a storm
Confusion
Concern
Anxiety
aren’t the norm
Emotions pour out
with implacable power
Oh, how you wish
the tempest would cower
What good does it do
besides make us blue?

By writing this doesn’t mean I never worry,
in fact, it seems there is more reason for it, lately.
But I think we all know it does no good.
So here’s to moving forward with Hope,
Faith and Optimism. 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by
and have a wonderful day! ♥

All so true! But we don’t seem to be able to stop ourselves do we? “Worry” is my default setting I think! I do try to work on it but usually to no avail. Great poem Lauren ❤️ Xx
No we don’t, Chris, and lately, worry has been default setting, too! 🙂 Not good for either of us! We just have to work harder; occupy our minds with other happy thoughts! Thanks for your complement, too! ♥ xo
Good piece! Have a wonderful day too Lauren!
Thanks, Joe, and I hope your day has been a good one! Today is my Friday, so that’s even better for me! 😀
Beautiful my friend. You are right~ Worry only brings on more stress and it is not always easy to let it go. hugs. prayers. ♥ Renee
Thanks, Renee! Yes, Let it Go! ♫ ♫ 🙂 Hugs back and prayers for you, too! ♥
Thank-you so much. Happy Friday ♥
You are so welcome. hugs. 🙂
Cheers to that, Lauren!!! 🙂 xx
Thanks, Marina! Cheers for a good evening and weekend ahead for you, too! Hugs!
It does no good at all.. but we still tend to do it… Lovely poem Lauren.. xox Love and Hugs Sue
We just have to try harder to busy ourselves so our focal point isn’t what’s worrying us…doing something productive like blogging is a good past time! 😉 Thanks so much, Sue, and sending love and many hugs your way, too! xo
XXX 🙂 ❤
I agree with you. Worrying will only make you sick and it’s exhausting. 🙂
It sure does, so why do we continue? We’re only human, I guess! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Kim!
A little bit of worry/anxiety is good, I reckon but too much and we drown in it.
Exactly, Eric! 🙂

Thanks again for sharing! I’m glad you liked this! 🙂
Good advice. But I worry a lot more than I should, and it’s difficult to stop.
Thanks, Binky, and you’re not alone..I do, too, but I’m trying to live by my words. 🙂
First verse – giggly perfect! So true.
Thanks, Chatty Owl! Happy to make you giggle! 🙂
And reading your post finds me worrying about something that just happened … and, as worry is apt to keep going, what might happen. Thank you for your lovely words! XO ♥
Aww…Diane, I hope you’re okay..I can certainly understand how worrying about what might happen is so easily done, but I pray you can find some peace and I’m always here if you need someone to talk to…thank you for your kind complement, too…Hugs! ♥
