It takes patience when you wait
avoid temptation, hooks and bait,
to wait for meal tickets in breadlines
to look for auto parking and get fined.

takes patience to speak a new language
new words is just part of the advantage
patience to learn under pressure of those who refuse
to apply new methods to old systems that are abused.

patience in passing amourous directions
with couples, wrong matches can escape detection;
impatience comes when man's fortunes are slack
he expects life to give him a pat on the back.

life deals cards of patience to all you see
how you manage your lot is ours to free;
just tap into infinite resources to take
patience as a virtue is still not to forsake.

It's something that I have been reminded of too but then again being reminded doesn't necessarily mean you're at fault.

ecrivan,

    I openly admit patience is something I need plenty more of lol.  I'm getting better as I get older though

    I enjoyed.

Hugs,
Tara

Hi Tara,

agreed, alot just has to do with experience
I will occasionally be doing those alliterations with different letters of the alphabet, hope you'll have patience for that.
