Why Should I Tolerate

Why should I tolerate?

You should tolerate
when the girl you loved hugs you.
You can’t breathe.
But respired the heat.

You should tolerate
when the boy you loved holds your hand.
You can’t make a move.
But felt the pulse.

You should tolerate
when the rain deluges you.
You can’t walk.
But sensed the fish kissed your foot.

You should tolerate
when the string of guitar snapped.
You can’t hear.
But hit the vibration of air.

You should tolerate
when the child cries.
You can’t find the reasons of unknown.
But saw the tears rolling on chin.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
