Patience, a virtue oft unseen
But one that makes our lives serene
It's a quality that's hard to gain
But with it, much can be attained
It's a river that flows through time
Meandering, never in a straight line
It winds and twists and turns around
And waits for better days to be found
Patience is a seed that's sown
In the darkest night, when hope is flown
But when the morning light appears
It blossoms into something dear

It's a light that shines in the dark
Guiding us through life's stark
It's a friend that's always by our side
Helping us through life's tumultuous tide
It teaches us to be content
With what we have and where we went
And to appreciate the small things
That life presents on eagle's wings
It helps us to see the bigger picture
And to not get caught up in life's mixture
Of worries, fears and doubts that linger
Patience helps us to be a true finger
It's the calm in the midst of a storm
The solace in the face of life's norm
It's the peace that we all seek to find
The serenity of a tranquil mind
Patience is the key to success
The tool that helps us to progress
It's the glue that holds us together
In times of joy or stormy weather
It's the patience that we show to others
That makes us true sisters and brothers
It's the understanding and the care
That makes life beautiful and fair
So let us be patient in our plight
And trust that everything will be alright
For in the end, our patience pays
And brings us joy in countless ways
Let us be patient in our pursuits
And in the face of life's disputes
For with patience, we can endure
And find the strength to make it pure
So let us be patient, day by day
And in all that we do or say
For with patience, we'll find our way
To a life that's bright and true, each day
