Patience In Life

I am so  patient on this earth,  
                   You can call me " patience" 
                     I have extraordinary faith 
                  I passed through fiery furnace 

                 I know to cross crocodiles rivers
                  I crossed the jungles many times 
                    I escaped thousands of swords 
             I climbed some highest African mounts

         I lived in very complicate mixed communities 
                 I once worked with dangerous leaders 
                    I saw the dead bodies of my friends 
            And found a way out of different  massacres

            I always say to myself , " God loves me more " 
                          Reason why I am still alive.
