be still

there are some days
i can't wait for the next
for one day to stop
and the next to begin

today
i am asked to be patient
this is one of my hardest tasks

'be still before the lord and wait patiently for him'
psalm 37:7

patience
eliminates worry
the lord said he would come
and his promise is equal
to his presence

patience
elminates weeping
why feel sad and discouraged
he knows your needs
better than you do

patience
eliminates want
perhaps your desire
to receive what you want
is stronger than your desire
for the will of god
to be fulfilled

patience
eliminates weakness
instead of thinking
of waiting as wasted time
realize that god is preparing
his resources and
strengthening you as well
_______________________________________________

hold steady when the fires burn
when inner lessons come to learn
and from this path there seems no turn
let patience have its perfect work

_______________________________________________

i don't know if i am
a relatively patient person

right now
i long for this term to be over
and for it to be summer

my rant of now now now
brings nothing
but more angst
that i don't have
and that hasn't occurred
