delicate yet stronger
your beauty will astound
as you fly above the ground
Surrendering to fate
freedom worth the wait....

True patience is a virtue
Pass time clock watching

Sipping natures milk...

Patience is a virtue son, the pirate said.
But he never had any from birth ‘til dead.
His son watched him and learned his ways.
Having a baby fit almost all of his days....

Patience is a virtue when casting a line
One never know how many damn times 
Fishing requires drinking
Sitting and thinking
Catching fish doesn't enter the paradigm...

must be allowed time
before it so emerges 
becoming a butterfly

and if heart be trusting
a glorious destiny awaits

Patience is a virtue someone once said
But sometimes I wonder if I'll be patiently dead
There's a limit I'm sure
The anticipation I can endure
I'm a sitting here waiting for what lies just ahead

I fear Ugliness

The kind that takes over your soul 
And doesn't let you sleep anymore

Eyes wide open, concentrating
waiting for something to happen

If patience is a virtue
Why am I not at peace

I raise my hands up to the Lord
So he can set me free...

Turtle is patient,
Never frantically rushing;
And patience is a virtue.
Virtuous turtle,
Has survived many ages;
Descendant of dinosaurs;
Camper on his back;
Turtle does not travel light;
Still, he will always arrive.

how many days will it take,
for these chains to break?
how many tears will be shed,
before ido not toss in my bed?
how many toads will i kiss,
before my prince charming comes?
"dreans come true",
"patience is a virtue".
myths,myths.
i wonder, what is a true myth?...

Patience is a virtue,
With time our eyes can see,
Not everything happens right away,
There are things we need to see in between,
And every piece is pertinent, 
No matter how small it may seem,
The pieces of the picture all add up,
To the end result of the picture we see....

I SAT on a bench in a park
Watching a black bird until 
It flew away
I SAT on a bench waiting
For the return of the black
Bird,  I wanted to study the habits
Of the black bird
The next day I waited 
For the  black bird
I muttered under my
Breath " I HAVE SEEDS. "
I SAT ON the bench
Patience is a virtue....

Patience- one great virtue
    Poised in keeping us calm.
      Perhaps one's born with it;
        Probably, must be learned.
          Perseverance hones skills-
            Prevents frustrating times;
              Pull in deeper breaths, smile.

I rejoice in glory to the most high God;
I am not exempt from sin but I'm always forgiven;
I appreciate the patience and the many chances they concur;
But God is not a plaything He's not to be ignored;
My Christ died for my sins and yours; 
Patience is the virtue come praise the Lord;

If patience is a virtue
 Well then

 I take it as a lai 
 Wear it around my neck 

You can spin
 Me up 

 And push me down 
but I am not ready for that this time 


For the fact that
 I have given more 

And you have not 
Taken less 

 Again you can
 Knock me off

On the ground 
But that’s would be 

 Your last mistake 
Oh, my dear patience...

A shored life
awakes the old
patience is a virtue

a wondrous light
a way for the world
one way passage

yielding trifles
abundant returns
nameless faceless

novelties in scrolls
constant to air
The Book of Life

accounts tallies
clearly visible
hidden from sight

chance of a lifetime
warps through glass
bottled sealed....

The safety of a rose with a dozen of choices,
Why stand still and let the love waters get frozen?
When you snooze you lose, your move is like chess it doesn't prosper the fools,
Waiting to long you'll grow old sharing your blues,
Since communication rules the nation we're born to die but not miserable
Your hesitation will only lead to frustration,

Patience is your virtue...

Patience is a virtue
Though it’s one that isn’t mine.
I get antsy when I wait
In any kind of line.

I can’t hold my horses
For that leads to agitation,
No matter what the reason
Or surrounding situation.

Type A personality
I think’s the diagnosis.
Ulcers or a heart attack
Is likely the prognosis.

Living in the city, though,
Is where I have to be.
For everywhere I go, I notice
Lunatics like me!...

I'm a solder in this tough world,
trying to deal with all of the problems in one hurl, 
yet patience is a virtue that doesn't come with todays culture and is over looked,
one day I hope the hypocrisy of society will finally be over and be nothing more than a page in a history book,
the power mongers will grow sober,
and the middle class will only prosper,
when the infringement of rights happens no longer....

patience is a virtue but not to the people that hurt you, I'm not talking about fists being thrown letting them selves be known, I'm talking about mentally being there thru history, but lesson learned they lit you on fire and let you burn, Like a candy they craved for but you were the wrong flavor, It's OK because now you know that friends are 30 minute show, walk up to the TV turn it off slow and realize you got family that you owe....

As the rain falls outside my window, a gentle song plays in my mind, nature expressing what I cannot, the sky is the color of my mood or is it my soul, yep my soul, gray like a cold statue standing still. Patience is a virtue, but one I cannot bare. I have so much to offer, but no one to give.  So much yet unseen, but no eyes. So much to be felt, but no hands nor heart. The chance has come and gone for I will be nobody's, somebody's, maybe...

To forgive is to forget
Even if the perpetrator has no regret
Patience is a virtue for one with might
A merciless executioner with bloody footprints in sight

Another love, Another string
A dirty little heart is all I have to win
No sympathies, No regrets 
I forgive every word you said

My woes are my lover
A connection with the lost sunflower is all I hold
As wait for you with all my desire
A bloody executioner is all I admire...

Waiting, on release….
That time when your time is frozen still
But as you look out others still going about the mill 
Waiting on a release
Mind racing trying to find peace 
It’s time to move on but wait
All your thoughts tell you it’s getting late
The event is here, yet it’s on pause
Now you think about weather there was a hidden clause
Patience is a virtue
Even more so when the time is just in purview 
Jailed in time 
Free in mind...

They say patience is a virtue. 
Agreed,
But too much patience also 
turns to misfortune.
Misfortune that deprives, 
misfortune that hurts. 
This ' patience' some have and 
some lack.
Both are hurt by it, no leniency 
for either.
How shrewd it is. 

How i hope to find a safe zone 
within this cunning one we call 
Patience. 

Too much patience also turns 
to misfortune.

Misfortune that deprives, 
misfortune that hurts....

Waiting, waiting anticipating....

Waiting for money, funny there is never enough,
Waiting for people to change, strange they never do,
Waiting to forgive, live for tomorrow,
Waiting for peace of mind, blind we seem to be,
Waiting to forget our hating, waiting for peace,
Waiting for love, above all else,
Time wasting, tasting our heart’s desires,
Patience is a virtue, true, 
If it doesn't take too long, wrong?

Waiting, waiting, anticipating..........
