Patience
The word is easy to say
But hard to master

I pray for patience
But then turn around
and wonder why
I haven’t received
My reward

I want it now
But am I ready?

Storm clouds are lifting
I can see the shore
The doubts are fading away
I may actually get there

I don't know if
I can do this
It feels too heavy

I know I can handle it
My past
Can attest for that

But I feel my hand slipping
And I need to hold on

What if I let go?
Will it be as
catastrophic as I think?

I will take it
one
step
at
a time
If I have to wait,
Wait I will

I want to be hopeful,
I want to dream
Of a simple
Yet bright future

But the fear of
It taken away from me
Is as real as
The stars in the sky

Parents
Often described as
A gift from God

But more often than not
We forget
They are human too
Capable of mistakes
Just like you and I

Their presence
Doesn’t need to feel
Heavenly

Why am I so drained?
It feels like a pile of bricks
On my chest

Not matter how hard I try
To push them off
They want to stay
It’s their home
They say
