This poem has held so very much meaning to me over the last several years. Trivia: my brother was named for Dylan Thomas. I was named for Thomas' college roommate, John Ramsay. My father met Thomas during his BBC years, and was friends with Ramsay until John's death.

“Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And gave it up.
And took my old body

And gave it up.
And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
