Why Sweat the Small Stuff
My wife told the mailman
she plans to leave me
and my boss said Friday
I’ve been laid off.
My doctor says
I need four stents
even though
I’m not that old.
My son hates our nation
and plans to join ISIS
and my daughter says
she’s three months pregnant.
Last night I told my story
to a drunk at the corner tavern.
He used to be a preacher
and now can’t find a job.
He says I shouldn't worry
about life’s ups and downs
because if, like him, I'm saved,
why sweat the small stuff.
