Patience is a gorgeous thing.
Patience
To walk through life
And do it right
On the rough road,
Rather than to run through life
Only to look over your shoulders
And view regrets
Close behind your back.
Patience is a gorgeous thing.
Patience
Through pain,
Is the ugliest side
Of its quality.
It is cold and unfeeling,
Cruel and devious.
Patience through pain
Turns the prick of a needle,
Into the carving of a knife.
The drop of rain,
Into a raging storm.
A candle’s flame,
Into the fires of hell.
Patience is a gorgeous thing.
Luckily,
Sadly,
Few people
Are patient enough
To see its ugly side.
