MASTERING PATIENCE

Patience requires humbleness,

To lower our own expectations.

Impatience give sleepless nights,

Sleepless nights make longer days.

Learn a bit of little patience,

With a tiny bit of complacence.

To show a little obedience,

'Whatever will be...will be.'

Impatience climbs the wrong stairs,

We can fail to see all the hazards.

Sliding down the stairs banisters:

Will not speed up the process.

Nothing's ever achieved by hurrying,

May we learn patience in our waiting.

Patience in time can be a blessing,

As we see the beauty we're missing.
