Dear Patience
Wilfulness as strong as titanium
Hurt as toxic as the evaporation of coal on a foggy day
Resentment as clear as a shiny star a distance away
Pain as real and assured as the morning sunset
Life welcomes extreme possibilities
Gratitude and Regret
Which would you choose?
Then comes Patience
Like a knight in shining armour
Wielding her sword
A sword that can cut through titanium with the appearance of tolerance, hope and resolve
I never knew what power patience yielded until I came to rely on it so heavily
What comfort she brings in our hour of confusion
What clarity she brings in the moment of choice between Gratitude and Regret
Thank you, Dear Patience for always being my knight in shining armour
