Waiting is difficult But it is essential Love too soon or too late May never become love at all Act too soon on your anger And you will regret your call But if you wait the hate will subside And love will guide your actions
All I'm saying is that patience Is a harvest sewn and waited for That reaps a crop greater than the field One that cannot be stored but produces a yield Ten, Hundred, Thousand fold the time thrown away And that time thrown away is never wasted Because as the watchman waits for the dawn When morning comes, he breathes a deep sigh And smiles as the light warms his face and soothes his sore eyes Patience proved right produces insight That waiting can be for gain Above all else what remains We learn to cope With man's most powerful curse Hope
