Dear Patience
Dear Patience
Will you please stay a while more?
Dear Patience
Please don’t walk out the door!
For I’ve need of your
Wisdom
Guidance
Forgiveness
I’ve need of your
Vision
Thoughtfulness
Perseverance
Dear Patience
So many times I’ve
Floundered
Freaked-out
Fallen
Many times I’ve
Rushed
Rolled
Rammed
Headlong into a massive
Jam!
Inflicting Insulting Insinuating
Instigating Infuriating Intimidating
All to get what I desire
Even if it means extinguishing
Another’s passion and fire
Dear Patience please help me
To turn the tide back upon myself
To start considering the needs of
Someone else
Like my wife or son
Or other son
To learn to wait
Upon their needs and wants
Then maybe if I turn the lens
On others I’ll finally have recompense
And know once and for all
The sweet taste of giving and
Not merely receiving
Dear Patience
Will you please stay a while more?
