Patience is the best
Shock – absorber.
Patience is the highest
Peace – discover.
Patience is the greatest
Perfection – believer.
Patience is the soul – power
Concealed.
Patience is the heart – tower
Revealed.
In between your failure – tree
And your triumph – tree,
The tree that is growing
Is known as your patience tree.
Yesterday
Patience was the beginning
Of my perfection.
Today
Patience is the flowering
Of my satisfaction.
