Notes About The Poem

Patience

Patience is an asset in life,
and a precious gift to bestow:
permits willingness to accept
and wait in perpetual calm, 
before bitter displays of angst 
will dissolve the goal and spirit.

A concise, thoughtful meditation on patience as both inner strength and generosity toward others. The contrast between calm endurance and the corrosive force of angst gives the verse a clear, uplifting wisdom.
