If I think too hard, I can come up with a lot of things...here is a poem by Shel Silverstein (you may know it!) that often rings true for me:<br /><br />Whatif by Shel Silverstein<br />Last night, while I lay thinking here,<br />some Whatifs crawled inside my ear<br />and pranced and partied all night long<br />and sang their same old Whatif song:<br />Whatif I'm dumb in school?<br />Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?<br />Whatif I get beat up?<br />Whatif there's poison in my cup?<br />Whatif I start to cry?<br />Whatif I get sick and die?<br />Whatif I flunk that test?<br />Whatif green hair grows on my chest?<br />Whatif nobody likes me?<br />Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?<br />Whatif I don't grow talle?<br />Whatif my head starts getting smaller?<br />Whatif the fish won't bite?<br />Whatif the wind tears up my kite?<br />Whatif they start a war?<br />Whatif my parents get divorced?<br />Whatif the bus is late?<br />Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?<br />Whatif I tear my pants?<br />Whatif I never learn to dance?<br />Everything seems well, and then<br />the nighttime Whatifs strike again!Susannoreply@blogger.com
