Patience

Patience teaches us to wait;  
Not everything in life happens as desired;  
Some moments arrive in subtle fragments.  

Patience encourages us to find an opening in the inky window;  
The meadow is lush and full of life;  
The doorway lies in the eyes through the mind.

Patience serves as the ladder to the sky;  
We ascend higher as we steadily climb;  
Our feet are strengthened by hope.  

Patience is the light that shines through the twilight tunnel,  
Emerging from obscurity,  
Fighting against the tendrils of night.  

Patience is the game;  
Sturdy feet and agile hands are not enough;  
An unclouded mind is the fulcrum of balance.  

Patience heralds glory;  
Yesterday becomes part of the story;  
Today is the light we perceive.  

Patience composes the songs;  
Hope adds the melody;  
Together, they walk hand in hand.
