Patience

Yes, “patience is a virtue,” so they say. It should be guaranteed throughout our day; employed no matter what may come our way. And so, to use it well, we always pray. Yet, patience is not easy to portray, and when it simply fails, we're in dismay. These days we're more inclined not to delay an outcome that needs time to come to play. At times, we're programmed for an instant sway- like with fast foods, quick texts, and the bouquet of varied helps that zoom results, convey that quick is better- push patience away. Yet, “patience is a virtue”- come what may. For all life's finer goals, it's there to stay. With family- do not keep it at bay; from patience- do not take a holiday.
