All My Gifts

"Patience is a wonderful trait,
That’s if you can wait

Where does desire fit in,
Does it create impatience from within

How about determination,
Is it impatience’s frustration

So how can we weather,
Feeling these three all together

Take a deep breath I suppose,
And focus on what you know

For confidence and belief,
Are also part of our motif

For we need all five,
To survive

Belief, determination and confidence,
With desire and patience

Belief motivates us,
Determination sustains us

Confidence acknowledges us,
Desire commits us

And patience reminds us,
Step by step without if ands or buts

So respect all of these inside,
In your heart and soul where they reside

And use these gifts,
To achieve everything you wish"
