You live your life like a courageous trooper
Fending off many blows and hard knocks.
Yet in the back of your mind you worry
About things like is she cheating on you.
Is that constant headache a brain tumor?
Will you be one of your company’s layoffs?
Somehow you survive the storms of worries
That you weather by trying to ignore them.
And these unending worries nag you until
The day you die and worry no more.
Bob Boyd
