WHY WORRY? WHY PRAY?

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

I don't know who wrote this poem--but I like it:

Worry? Why worry? What can worry do?

It never keeps a trouble from overtaking you,

It gives you indigestion and sleepless hours at night

And fills with gloom the days, however fair and bright.

It puts a frown upon the face, and sharpness to the tone

We're unfit to live with others and unfit to live alone

Worry? Why worry? What can worry do?

It never keeps a trouble from overtaking you.

Pray? Why pray? What can praying do?

Praying really changes things, arranges life anew,

It's good for your digestion, gives peaceful sleep at night

And fills the grayest, gloomiest day--with rays of glowing light.

It puts a smile upon your face, the love note in your tone

Makes you fit to live with others, and fit to live alone.

Pray? Why pray? What can praying do?

It brings God down from heaven to live and work with you.
