But One thing is Needful

I'm not so excited about the way this one turned out at all. Just after reading the story of the Good Samaritan, I read the story of Martha who was troubled about many things. I began thinking of all the ways I am troubled about things that are not needful, so I created a poem in the form of a list.

Job, school, money, taxes
Soccer, play, movies, meeting
War, earthquakes, street violence,
Clean, company, dinner
Thou art troubled about many things
But one thing is needful
