Patience

Arrows fly fast and sharp as they pierce the open air

They are like words that lay our hearts bare

But what if we just slowed down, stood quiet and still

and let the silence guide our will

Patience breaks the bow in two

Tolerance softens different views

While anger flickers out like a fleeting spark

Leaving no shadows in the dark

Grudges can't be held in open hands

They'll slip away like water or like shifting sands

When you see the heavy weight they bear

It’s impossible to stay unaware

Patience breaks the bow in two

Tolerance softens different views

While anger flickers out like a fleeting spark

Leaving no shadows in the dark

Tolerance and anger can't pretend

They'll never dance

they'll never blend

So breathe in deep let the storm subside

Feel the calm in your heart like a rising tide

Patience breaks the bow in two

Tolerance softens different views

While anger flickers out like a fleeting spark

Leaving no shadows in the dark

Be patient

Be tolerant

Be kind and loving
