Patience
Fire and passion drive man to deed
When a sage's word they fail to heed
Wait and wish but stay thy hand
For impulse leads to things unplanned
He who takes a moment to stop and think
May find his woes may quickly sink
Away to depths which effect you naught
Abandoned in your place of thought
Reward be given day by day
For he who seeks to find the way
Apart from swift action born of lacking sense
Bad fortune then to leave you hence
Do take the time to consider thy fate
For this may make your life change from good to great
