Worry is like a rocking chair,
it gives you something to
do, but gets you nowhere
and the reason people hold
onto memories so tight, for
so long is because memories
are the only things that don't
change, even when people
do, so don't get caught up
in your thoughts so much
that you can't see that it
isn't what you look at that
matters, it is what you see
so keep in mind that at any
given moment you have the
power to say, this is not how
the story is going to end.

The world is going to judge
you no matter what you do
so live your life the way
you want to knowing that
worrying doesn't take away
tomorrows troubles, it takes
away today.

The happiness of your life
depends upon the quality
of your thoughts so be
grateful for another day
knowing that not
everybody made it, and
don't take it for granted
and know that those
mountains that you carry,
you were only supposed
to climb.                         Jon York      2016
