Patience is a virtue many of us are short of today.

Patience is a virtue many of us are short of today.

Like Frank Sinatra we want to do it our way.

But we know sometimes the waiting is so very hard to do.

It's like the farmer waiting for the baby plants to come through.

Even when the fledgling plants are showing their first leaves

He must wait for months until their maturity finally conceives,

The produce they were designed to bring forth then.

The farmer knows this and doesn't ask when Lord when?.

No the waiting is a process that takes time and patience, it's true.

Some projects, hopes and dreams take a lot of time, we all know they do

We want to hurry that project or that dream and have it to come to pass right now.

But that's not the way things work, we must be patient and wait, that's how.

In our life we all have dreams and goals and I am waiting for things to happen for me.

This is when we all must have patience and perseverance, and most will agree.

When we try to hurry up that thing that seems to be taking oh so long.

We must remember, like the farmer, to wait patiently and not do it wrong,
