Patience is a virtue that everybody knows.
Its opposite is one of mankind’s greatest foes.
Without patience in our lives we are destitute
Because without patience man is just a brute.
But liberally sprinkle life with patience with everyone you know,
And your relationships and friendships I can attest will grow.
When you use it with your children their love is you reward.
You’ll see a change in family life because there’ll be less discord.
So when your ire is raised be careful how you speak.
Say things with great patience and you’ll get the reaction that you seek.
there he sits, sits and waits
holding still for a twist of fate
in a crowded room far away
will he see me this lonely day
he turns his head, and i can’t believe
his eyes are looking right past me
this invisible girl with an invisible heart
slowly shattering into a thousand parts
but the music playing from his eyes
encompasses me, goes deep inside
raptures my soul in a symphony
until i can no longer see me
should i do it, part my lips
open my heart, let the words slip
out of the mouth that longs to taste
savor his love, not one moment waste
it isn’t right, it isn’t fair
why i should feel, why i should care
about this man who does not see
about this man, lord, set me free
and so like he i’ll sit and wait
holding still for a twist of fate
patience till i find my way
patience till my dying day
