Patience



When your turn hasn’t come,
When you can’t help but run,
Have patience.

When your feeling down on your luck,
When you ain't got a buck,
Have patience.

When you can’t see the see the end in sight,
When your future doesn’t look bright,
Have patience.

I know it's hard to believe,
When bad is all you see.
Surrounded by the flood,
When will you ever be free?

But I heard good comes to those who wait.
Whatever you’re going through will go away.
I know one day, you’ll be fine.
Just have patience and don’t lose your mind.

Have patience cause good things take time.

About this poem

We're always running, looking for the next big thing. Always wanting to escape our current problems, feeling down when we don't get there fast enough. What we need is a little bit of good old fashioned patience.
