Like Line, I'm drawn by 'tears of patience' - sometimes patience is painful!

They say that 'patience is its own reward,' though I'm not so sure about pain, as I don't go for the adage -- No pain, no gain. :) gw

I like the alliteration - it makes "tears of patience" stand out. Well done, Gershon.

And I like it so much when the reader finds so much more in the poem than the author meant to put in!! Thanks a million for this comment, Line. You have absolutely made my evening! Blessings and joy, Gershon

Yup, one of life's harsher truths, though...
