Worry Not

I worry too much,
You often say,
I worry about everything,
About every day.
I fear for your health,
For your sanity,
You life should you
Truly join the army.
You're crazy to do
The things that you do -
Sleep outside in zero degrees,
And light things on fire - including you!
But I have confidence
You'll be okay,
No matter how much
I fret each day.
So I'll try to set
My mind at ease,
But, my darling,
Please, please, PLEASE,
Use your head,
Please be smart...
For losing you
Would break my heart.
