Time and Patience
If Time were a one-way street
Patience is what you'd need
To be content where ever you went,
Traveling at any speed;
If Patience were a sprout new sprung
Right after it was sown,
Time is the dear necesisty
It must have to be full grown;
If Patience were the feet and hands
And a ladder could be Time,
Eachother will work and play its part
Making possible the climb;
If Time would be a river
Flowing constant from its source,
Patience would be the paddles
Navigating the boat's course;
Time and Patience, they are conjoined,
Closely related things:
One is the fabric, through which all lives
The other describes how it hangs.
