The Secret of Patience

Romance your life so softly and do not hit it hard Be calm and patient And walk with a tender foot Do not entertain greed And always give in to advice Be humble and respect the low And be impartial with it Be of good companionship To those looking up on you Those who look down on you Do not kiss the soul of their feet Earn yourself integrity And massage your ego Temptations may shake you But be a master over wealth Once again I say be patient It is the very secret of life Don’t fly when you’ve not crawl Don’t be in a haste to make a river Use everyday to make a drop And you will be stunned with wonders What mighty ocean it will create
