Patience is, well, it’s patient, it cannot be rushed
It can’t be pulled, nor can it can’t be pushed
Patience is stillness in a world full of motion
A single drop of water and also an ocean
Patience is compassionate and it’s empathetic
It comes from the core, it isn’t cosmetic
It doesn’t get angry, it can’t be upset
It doesn’t need to borrow or go into debt
Patience is tolerant, understanding and restrained
It isn’t on the lookout for personal gain
Patience doesn’t have any kind of agenda
It doesn’t get bogged-down in irrelevant addenda
Patience is calm, but it knows when to move
And even when it’s ready, it has nothing to prove
Patience sits back and it watches and observes
Drawing conclusions and steering into curves
It isn’t forecasting or anticipating
So there’s no way patience can ever be frustrated
Patience isn’t that popular with most folks, you know
Because patience doesn’t care if they stay or go
It does not respond to emotions that excite
It’s insight in knowing when the timing is right
Patience doesn’t give praise nor does it criticize
Because patience doesn’t force things or compromise
Patience isn’t about showing up early or late
Because patience is about timing, not about the wait
Patience is a mystery, it isn’t something you do
You have to be willing to let patience do you
