A Prayer for More Patience















Oh Lord, I pray for more patience,
For I am not a saint,
I find myself, in frustration,
Acting with scant restraint.
I raise my voice when not heeded,
And I can hear the burr
That says I’m losing patience
And might just fuss at her.

But she can’t help it, she is lost,
Her thoughts cannot connect,
And I need to be more patient,
Offering her respect.
For she loved me so patiently
When I was young and wild,
So Lord, please give me more patience
For she is now the child.
