Patience, Determination And Tolerance



If there has been something done.
That has taken anyone,
Many years to finally find it found...
Persistence kept can not be dismissed.
For anyone with a dream,
To want it wished accomplished.
With only oneself,
Knowing what is done to do to improve...
Has little to,
With seeking approval and acceptance.
From others who have neither a hint nor clue,
Of what one dreams to wish and want...
Come true.

Obstacles, challenges.
And chances with risks to face.
Maybe easy for some,
Who would rather turn away.
To make excuses heard to say.
Yet...
One patient, determined and tolerant.
Moves on to witness that day that comes,
That shuts mouths of whispering naysayers.
And those with expertise,
In the field of gossip spreading.
You know...
Those who know everything about nothing!

'Well done.'

'What has been well done?'

'Your patience, determination and tolerance.
Risks to take and chances to endure.'

'Not to be rude.
Or appear to be unappreciative,
Of your comments made to me.
But...
Have we met?
I don't remember you at all.
Or know what I should say.'

'Work.
With effort endeavored to accomplish.
And it to achieve.
That is the work that has worth to value.
And...
Speaks for itself.
Done with time, patience, determination.
Tolerance...'

'Apparently.'

'And that to come well done,
Was not apparently...
On anyone's wish list to share with me.
So...
I thank you!'

'Thank me?
For what?'

'Encouraging my efforts to endeavor,
From a distance.
To await until,
Time provided the both of us...
With an acknowledgement to appreciate,
What others do.'

'Yeah.
And why do you think that is?'

'Who knows.
Some are quick to self promote.
While others are about what they do.
Done to surprise themselves,
By their own achievements!'

'Notoriety can prematurely kill the act.'

'And...
Yet I have I noticed,
Any cat killed by curiosity?'

'A...what?'

'Cat.
You know...
Meow!'
