Patience is a virtue



Patience, a virtue, serene and wise,

A calming balm when storms arise.

In the quiet moments, a steady force,

Navigating life's tumultuous course.


A seed planted, awaiting its turn,

Patience, the essence, as seasons churn.

Silent strength in the face of delay,

A tranquil demeanor in the longest fray.


Time's gentle sculptor, shaping fate,

Patience weaves tales, patiently, it'll create.

An artful dance with the hands of the clock,

In patience, resilience finds its stock.


Through shadows long and days of dusk,

Patience, a beacon, in faith we trust.

A quiet echo in the restless night,

Guiding us towards the morning light.
