Learning Patience


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The ins and outs, the ups and downs,
The struggles of each day
All have to be faced with patience.
They will not go away.
 
But patience isn’t my strong suit,
In fact, that suit is weak.
I doubt that I will find patience,
However hard I seek.
 
I know I have to learn patience,
But must it take so long?
I wish there was an easy way
To speed the class along?
 
This world has lessons we must learn,
And mine is to be still.
I’ll swallow my pride, learn patience…
At least I hope I will.
 
Ecclesiastes 7:8
The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.
