Patience

I suppose in life, we all learn patience somehow, some way I've never been the most patient person So, maybe I'm forced to learn now day to day When it's something critical, it's not fun Why must such lessons be learned through anguish, When patience brings more to endure? Why must we hang onto prayers and a wish, For discovery to find a cure? Sometimes when achieving patience, then there is no more Every last thing has been tried And I start to begin to wonder, what for? To observe what's needed, from then I spied Although I know, one day will bring confirmation It cannot come soon enough I've relied on every possible way and affirmation To get through something so tough So here I write with little patience I muster, Drained from the burden of doom It has turned into a cluster.... Yet, I'm the only one in the room Heidi Sands 6/10/22

Your opening line speaks to the anxiety one feels in the face of unknown. Like you say--there's clarity on the other side, but the waiting is what causes the pain.
