Be Patient

He who does not learn to be patient
Might end up becoming a patient.
Patience often makes higher
The burdens that desperation
Makes heavier.

Though patience is sometimes bitter,
The fruit is always sweet.
Though the mills of God
Appears to grind slowly,
They always grind better and finer.

An ounce of patience
Has greater worth
Than a pound of force.
Chickens come by patiently
Hatching the eggs,
Not by forcefully smashing them.

The believer who waits
For God in faith,
Never waits for Him in vain.
If you can have patience,
You can have whatsoever
You desire!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
