What It Takes To Achieve Patience Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The returning back,
From a dead end that traps...
Will eventually teach patience,
To the one who rushes forward...
With a determination to prove,
Stubbornness prevails.
Fails.

And heartbreaking will be the attempts,
Observed by those who did their best...
To prevent the event.
But one this can not do...
When a child with an adult appearance,
Chooses not to listen?

We can instruct with books.
And believe it takes stern looks.
But experience is the teacher.
Experience does more for opening up the mind...
Than nagging or reminding someone,
Of what they should do for themselves.
And what is more important for them,
They should concentrate to find!

And...
What it takes,
To achieve patience.

Than nagging or reminding someone,
Of what they should do for themselves.
And what is more important for them,
They should concentrate to find!

And...
What it takes,
To achieve patience.
