Patience

Now I must learn to be patient
And let God do his maintenance
On my heart and that of yours too
Until we both have made it through

I must maintain silence for now
Give one some time to think, allow
The matters of the heart to heal
And be gentle with how you feel

I must be calm, patiently wait
For however long it might take
I cannot afford to frustrate
A delicate time, or it breaks

They say patience is a virtue
I must apply it, wait for you
So peacefully, calmly, I'll be
Patiently waiting, just for thee
