The Town Of Don’t You Worry

There’s a town called “Don’t You Worry”
On the banks of River Smile,
Where the Cheer-Up and Be Happy
Blossom sweetly all the while.
Where the never grumble flowers
Bloom beside the fragrant Try
And the Ne’er Give-Up and Patience
Point their faces to the sky.

In the Valley of Contentment,
In the province of I Will.
You will find this lovely City
At the foot of No-Fret Hill.
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees,
Named the “Very Seldom Frown.”

Rustic benches quite enticing
You’ll find scattered here and there,
And to each a Vine is clinging
Called the Frequent Earnest Prayer.
Everybody will be happy
And are Singing all the while
In the town of “Don’t You Worry.”
On the banks of River Smile.


This little poem has always amused me and makes me smile. I don't know who wrote it but it has been a long time favorite of mine. It is a great poem to share with children and gives them a fun way to imagine this place. Starting the day out with this can make your day go much happier too. I hope you have a happy day today! And if you want to start your day out with a tasty and healthy cup of coffee or tea or hot chocolate...check out my new website at https://www.myganocafe.com/selfstarters and see what we have to offer you.
