LEARN PATIENCE
We seem to spend a lot of time waiting for this or that
Waiting in lines of at traffic lights, in a doctors office sat
For ages waiting for your name maybe patience we need to learn,
Find things to do or think about whilst waiting for your turn.
Its no use honking when the traffic is not going anywhere,
If you get inpatient your blood pressure could flair,
Relax and look around and see what is all about you,
Gaze and actually notice all the things that come to view.
Chat to someone in the line-up at a very busy store,
Help cheer up a lonely soul not spoken yo before,
Waiting could be serving moments quietly sent your way,
don’t waste them, use them so grow a little better today.
