Do not sleep with Worry
Worry is no good in Bed
He will interrupt your slumber
Spinning dramas like a web

He will plant seeds in your garden
They will strangle all you've grown
Pulling roots up from your flowerbeds
To make room there for his own

He will take your precious memories
And paint them murky grey
He will meet your inner child
And send her cowering on her way

Do not let him in your bed, love
Crack the window, shoo him out
Throw his friend out there to join him
Fear, perfection and self-doubt

Now quickly, close the window
Come back and snuggle down
And check that only good thoughts
Are allowed to stick around 

Let hope and joy come by
They are soothing, wise and true
Add acceptance to the mix
Then let peace wash over you

No, do not sleep with Worry
Worry is no good in bed
You have stress enough in life
To let that monster in your head.
