Patience

Patience 

If patience is a virtue
 Well then

 I take it as a lai 
 Wear it around my neck 

You can spin
 Me up 

 And push me down 
but I am not ready for that this time 


For the fact that
 I have given more 

And you have not 
Taken less 

 Again you can
 Knock me off

On the ground 
But that’s would be 

 Your last mistake 
Oh, my dear patience
