Do not be hurt <br />By happenstance things; <br />A wreck on the roadway, <br />Late-coming trains. <br /> <br />A broken tea-cup, <br />A waistline grown fatter- <br />Things you can fix <br />Don't really matter. <br /> <br />But take care of hearts <br />(And things that are fragile) <br />And yours will grow wings <br />And become ever agile.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happenstance-things/
