Poem By: Helen Steiner Rice

QUIT SUPPOSIN’
"DON'T START YOUR DAY BY SUPPOSIN’ THAT TROUBLE IS JUST AHEAD, IT'S BETTER TO STOP SUPPOSIN’ AND START WITH A PRAYER INSTEAD, AND MAKE IT A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
FOR THE WONDERFUL THINGS GOD HAS WROUGHT, LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE AND SUNSET,
“GOD'S GIFTS” THAT ARE FREE
AND NOT BOUGHT----FOR WHAT IS THE USE OF SUPPOSIN’ THAT DIRE THINGS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
AND WORRYING ABOUT SOME MISFORTUNE THAT SELDOM IF EVER COMES TRUE----BUT INSTEAD OF JUST IDLE SUPPOSIN’
STEP FORWARD TO MEET EACH NEW DAY SECURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE GOD'S NEAR YOU
TO LEAD YOU EACH STEP OF THE WAY----FOR SUPPOSIN’ THE WORST THINGS WILL HAPPEN
ONLY HELPS TO MAKE THEM COME TRUE AND YOU DARKEN THE BRIGHT, HAPPY MOMENTS
THAT THE DEAR LORD HAS GIVEN TO YOU----SO IF YOU DESIRE TO BE HAPPYAND GET RID OF THE “MISERY OF DREAD” JUST GIVE UP “SUPPOSIN’ THE WORST THINGS” AND LOOK FOR THE BEST THINGS INSTEAD.
