Nancy Jones Poet Rhyme

Passion

Passion gets me in trouble
It motivates me to do things on the double.

Passion drives me quite wild
Especially if it's regarding my child.

Or anyone else for whom I care deeply.

Patience is something I've had to learn
What others were born with, I've had to earn.

Patience and passion go hand in hand
That's how I imagine the promised land.

Hope y'all don't find this too creepy!
