PATIENCE,  is a virtue
that in the long run, always will abundantly bless you

You will be rewarded, when with PATIENCE, you held back your anger
and will come to know, and realize, if you didnt, a major falling out and argument would have occured

This morning, easily i could have lashed out angrily at my daughter
i could have shamed her with slaughter

But  PATIENTLY, i took the disappointment, shame, blame and pain
until tonight  she called me, and i heard in her voice, that she knew she treated me unfair, bad, wrong, and just not right the same

So my PATIENCE was my virtue
as i refrained from arguing to prove my point, and stayed PATIENT, calm, and to myself i stayed true

PATIENCE, is a challenge, when you feel, so wronged
its difficult to be PATIENT, when you want to stand up for yourself and put a person rightly, right where they belong

But the truth, will always be revealed
the truth cannot be concealed

PATIENCE, is a virtue
stay firm, hold your ground, dont shout with anger or get upset and come unglued

Stay focused, PATIENT  and true
let  PATIENCE  be who and what you are, in all you think, say and do
