Patience Is a Virtue

patience is a virtue that's what they often say
but why is it that people can't seem to change their ways
always looking for love in all the wrong places
hoping for a true commitment from lying faces
unwilling or incapable of just waiting for God
and to only wind up with bruised and broken hearts

we want what we want and we want it fast
but it's the slow and steady that ultimately lasts
desiring riches and fame but not willing to do what it takes
thinking their entitled just for their own sake
nothing is promised and there's only one guarantee in life
and that's the unconditional love and patience of the Lord Jesus Christ

You have a strong faith. I struggle at times but it seems the more we are challenged the stronger it gets. God Bless. Vince
