Patience

Patience

They say patience is a virtue. 
Agreed,
But too much patience also 
turns to misfortune.
Misfortune that deprives, 
misfortune that hurts. 
This ' patience' some have and 
some lack.
Both are hurt by it, no leniency 
for either.
How shrewd it is. 

How i hope to find a safe zone 
within this cunning one we call 
Patience. 

Too much patience also turns 
to misfortune.

Misfortune that deprives, 
misfortune that hurts.

Debbie Guzzi January 11, 2014 at 7:35 PM I don't have much patience? So I guess I don't understand its use either? Light & Love
