Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem Allan. I have been over worrying lately!

For me it's not lately, sadly, I come from a long line of worriers.

I come from a long line of worries too. I’ve just had some extra stress of late with more new health issues and some extra stress with usual other worries.

Thanks for this. Just one point, however. I don’t think the fear you refer to is universal. Some have it, and some don’t. I don’t believe I am not enough or missing vital qualities others get so easily.

oh absolutely, you are totally correct. This is not universal at all but it’s good you pointed out.

I have always been a worrier too. Thank you so much, Allan, for introducing me to this poem. I will save it together with your very helpful comments.

I know you and I are not the only members of this club.

Worry is allowing someone or something to live rent-free in your head. Nothing healthy comes of it. Nice post and nice poem!
