Patience wins the game

Write your dreams upon a sheet,
And tie it to a kite.
Let it sail along the wind,
Into a starless night.
As the decades come and pass,
You'll find them once again.
Enshrined within the mighty clouds,
They'll fall down with the rain.

Keep your pennies in a jar,
Soon they'll make more cents.
One becomes five, five becomes ten,
You'll have a lot to spend.
Cast your crumbs upon the waves,
Watch them turn to loaves.
Spread your seeds across the plains,
Soon they'll turn to groves.

In a far and distant land,
Plant your flag and stake,
Soon enough you'll end up with,
A vast and mighty state.

Do not try to get rich quick,
And do not strive for fame.
For as we learned from ancient times,
Patience wins the game.
