When I was young I thought everything had to be done "right now",
And it upset me to wait and heaven forbid we ever be late.
But now I can see that was a hidden form of anxiety in me,
So I suprised myself the other day when asked if I needed help,
Here I, Susan Pearl, said,"No, and if it doesn't get done it won't be the end of the world."
Time has unfurled a flag of calm in me by knowing that it won't be the end of the world,
By being able to look at a book or to contemplate without the feeling of being late,
Or to have an ongonig thought that there is something I should do-like I use to.
