The Chance Will Come

Is hard, to be patient,
when ones ship, has not yet, sailed in.
Waiting, and waiting, while still trying,
hoping for, ones life, to then begin.

Becoming frustrated, while everyone else,
is doing better, than your, very own situation.
Always having, to be, the bigger person,
congratulating them, during their celebration.

Really struggling, to not become, envious,
when everyone, else, is first, during the race.
Using the strength, in ones self, accepting the fact,
ones chance, comes, at specific, time and place.
