POEM OF THE DAY 1

THE TOWN OF DONT YOU WORRY


THERE'S A TOWN CALLED
DON'T YOU WORRY,
ON THE BANKS OF RIVER SMILE,
WHERE THE CHEER UP AND BE HAPPY
BLOSSOM SWEETLY ALL THE WHILE.

WHERE THE NEVER CRUMBLE FLOWER
BLOOMS BESIDE THE FRAGRANT TRY,
AND THE NEVER GIVE UP AND PATIENCE
POINT THEIR FACES TO THE SKY.

IN THE VALLEY OF CONTENTMENT,
IN THE PROVINCE OF I WILL,
YOU WILL FIND THIS LOVELY CITY,
AT THE FOOT OF NO FRET HILL.

THERE ARE THOROUGHFARES DELIGHTFUL
IN THIS VERY CHARMING TOWN

AND ON EVERY HAND ARE SHADE TREES
NAMED THE VERY SELDOM FROWN

RUSTIC BENCHES QUITE ENTICING
YOU'LL FIND SCATTERED HERE AND THERE
AND TO EACH A VINE IS CLINGING
CALLED THE FREQUENT EARNEST PRAYER

EVERYBODY THERE IS HAPPY
AND IS SINGING ALL THE WHILE,
IN THE TOWN OF DONT YOU WORRY,
ON THE BANKS OF RIVER SMILE

-BARTLETT
