Patience

Patience

A word that people say is a virtue,
And a value that exists in very few.
The ability to wait for someone or for something to happen,
Like waiting for Jesus to come and seeing if I made it to heaven.

It is easy to say and pronounce, only when it is a noun,
But when it needs to become a verb, it is hard to act it out.
Humility is another word associated with this term,
And if we know how to use both, many lessons can be learned.

Now the world would be a better place if we all had this gift,
It will make certain that 'World Peace' would no longer be a myth.
But then this dream remains a dream for this world is full of frustrations,
Because at the end of all this, "It takes patience to have patience".

Great; I gave it a #7 rating, maybe because you know Jesus Christ is the only way we get patience, humility, even love of any kind. Without God, we can't even love our children ... Without Jesus, we can never love the next caste, tribe, or country. World Peace possible only with Jesus. No one & nothing else can deliver

Thank you for the good rating Anil. Yes all you said is true. The world we live in does in fact need Jesus.
