I Learned Patience In My Old Age Poem by Shalom Freedman

I Learned Patience In My Old Age



I learned Patience in my old age
When I understood all my years of
Racing to literary Greatness
Had gotten me nowhere-

And when I understood
That waiting while helping
A disabled person
Was no sin-

And that I would
After even a longer waiting
Than I had ever been able
To quietly wait before
There would still be time-

To write masterpieces for nothing to nowhere-
