Gyles' poem this week comes from one of our Purple People! It's called 'My Worry Tree' by Carol Mugano
I have a little worry tree,
I was given by a friend.
If I didn't have my worry tree,
I'd go right round the bend.
When things are getting stressful,
and particularly manic,
I know I have my worry tree,
so there's no need to panic.
I'm so fortunate to have this tree.
It's such a special kind.
It's not growing in my garden,
it's just planted in my mind.
So, whenever I am anxious,
and I don't know what to do,
I will go and find my worry tree,
and my big scissors, too.
Then, the subject of my worry,
that is causing so much grief,
I will scoop it up so gently,
and I'll place it on a leaf.
Then, with my enormous scissors,
The offending leaf I'll sever,
and I'll watch my worry blow away,
to disappear forever.
