Patience A Virtue To Uphold



Patience, a virtue so pure and true,
A quality that can carry us through.
A scene of sin? No, that's not quite right,
It's our response to temptation that's the fight.

With wisdom and patience, we can avoid the snare,
And keep ourselves from falling into despair.
We can stay strong when the winds of change blow,
And navigate life's challenges with a steady flow.

Patience is not a scene of sin,
But rather a virtue that helps us begin.
To see the world with a different light,
And to keep our hearts open and bright.

With patience, we can learn to wait,
And to keep our hearts from being consumed by hate.
We can see the good in every soul,
And let love and compassion be our goal.

So let us cultivate patience with wisdom and grace,
And use it to navigate life's challenges with a steady pace.
For patience is not a scene of sin,
But rather a virtue that helps us begin.

About this poem

Patience (or forbearance) is the ability to endure difficult circumstances.
