Peace and I are Hanging Out

Dear Patience

Through my agitation and distress,

I noticed you were gone

Forgive me if I digress,

I shall look for you anon

Annoyance whispers in my ear

And irritability rides along

I feel the creeping of insidious fear,

Without you life feels wrong

Frustration gives me a roaring pain

And impulsiveness sings its siren's song

They both have a lot to gain

With my attention gone so wrong

A blinding wall of intolerance

Wants to take over my day

Until I ponder your independence

As I watched you bow your head and pray

I ponder on my negligence

It crept in slowly day by day

I contemplate your benevolence

And your laughter and your play

Oh, patience, my dear patience

Your sense of elegance lingers

I think of peace and joy's essence

Blessing me at the touch of your fingers

Missing you always,

Cheryl

Dear Cheryl

Peace and I are hanging out

Right around the corner

Follow me on my usual route

I'll guide you as you get warmer

As always,

Patience
