Patience


Hung above my kitchen sink as my daily prayer and reminder:

Give Me Patience

Give me patience
When little hands
tug at me with
ceaseless small demands.

Give me gentle words
and smiling eyes
and keep my lips from
hasty sharp replies

That when in years to come
my house is still,
beautiful memories
it's rooms will fill.
