Patience is flawless.


Patience.
Practice, preparation, prayer.
My hands glide on keys,
white and black,
sharp and flat.
A mistake, an imperfection.
Again and again, over and over.
Patience.

Patience.
Love, faith and hope.
Harmony in the family,
brother and sister,
mother and father.
A shout, a scream.
Fighting and yelling.
Patience. 

Triumphs, troubles, temptations.
Sadness, anger, happiness.
In good, glad and sad times,
Have patience.
