  • I Worried

    By Mary Oliver

    I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers  flow in the right direction, will the earth turn  as it was taught, and if not how shall  I correct it?

    Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,  can I do better?

    Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows  can do it and I am, well,  hopeless.

    Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,  am I going to get rheumatism,  lockjaw, dementia?
