PATIENCE
Of all the virtues to be developed by man
Patience is the most needed since time began.
Every time you must stand in line
Or while food is prepared so you can dine.
While waiting for a check to come in the mail
To pay your bills so your credit will not fail.
When that inconsiderate so-and-so
Makes late the carpool as to work you go.
For mothers during long months of pregnancy
Till the ordeal is over and the baby they see.
Patience and time for children to grow
Is something all children and parents must know.
Patience is required for the body’s healing
To return, after sickness, to a vigorous feeling.
Patience is needed for relaxation
Sleep and rest and regeneration.
Patience all athletes must possess
For the hours of practice that bring success.
Patience is a part of persistence,
Perseverance and dogged endurance .
Resolve to be patient! Make it your goal!
It will help you all your emotions control.
Patience makes you a master of chance
Instead of a victim of circumstance.
Patience is part of serenity,
Peace of mind. calmness, tranquility.
Patience is the very soul of peace
As it causes all annoyances to cease.
Patience while waiting can be enjoyable for you
If you plan something interesting to think and do.
