As we live our lives

there are bound to be

some groundless anxieties

loose on a spree.

It could be far worse –

far worse than we think

We might be standing

on tragedy’s brink.

Indeed, without doubt,

There are ups and downs

that synchronize with

our laughter and frowns.

Feeling the twinges

of pain is such

that requires no need

for a prop or a crutch.

Consider the heavy,

life-threatening woes

of those experiencing

no sweet repose.

So, get such anxieties

out of the way,

and walk in the sun

each precious day!
