Keep Our Worries In A Box

How would it be if we put our worries Into a box with lock and key Just keep it there as long as needed It would work perfectly, I think, for me. We don't have to fret about them For they are secure under the lid No one will ever know they are there They are hidden now instead. Each time there is a new one The box is opened once more We pop it right inside then For we never know what's in store. We may actually keep it virtual For that is up to us Or design a plain or fancy box And make an enormous fuss. Once in a while we can open the lid Go through them one by one Toss the ones that no longer matter Those worries will finally be done. Since these burdens are part of life When you shake this box you'll hear A worry or more always inside it But you have nothing now to fear!
