Analysis of Please Try!

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



Please do not worry and don't hurry,
They won't help in the end.
Have faith and you will truly do
The things you won't amend!

Please do your best and you'll be blessed,
No matter what takes place.
Because you tried and did abide
With honesty and grace!
