Patience Is A Much Needed Virtue Today! Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Patience is a much-needed virtue today.
What more can I say?
Just because you can take a free
right-hand turn at a red traffic light,
does not mean it is alright.

When some impatient jasper is honking
his or her horn! They are in the back
of the lead car. They can not see
an automobile making a left-hand turn.
Maybe they are busy watching as the stomach turns?

Safe drivers avoid causing traffic accidents.
I can not say the same about the speed racers.
Maybe they should drive on race tracks,
and avoid using the highways?
They really cut loose on the freeways!

Some people become impatient in grocery
stores checkout lines. Finding the
right card to use sometimes takes
a little more time. They govern
their lives by their clocks
and watches.

Since they need to earn a living,
I try to understand. Especially
if they are taking care of young
children. Some of them like
to run around stores.

Patience is a much-needed virtue today.
What more can I say?
Why do I know so much about lack
of patience? It just happens to be
sad but true. I really could use
a strong dosage of patience too!
