.......

Once upon a time
when troubles were thick as snow
I learned a little thing to
do to help me to let them go,
I found an old clay pot,
one that had a lid,
one in whose empty-ness
my troubles could be hid.
I'd jot them down on bits of paper
and fold them up and away,
then let the emptiness in the pot
take care of them all day;

(And when they'd come into my mind
I'd think, "they're being solved,
by the empty-ness in the pot
now they're all resolved.")

And sure enough, it never failed
and still it works today,
The empty-ness in the pot
takes all my cares away.
