Virtues Poetically: Patience & Humility

in #poem6 years ago (edited)

Patience

The Patience to stand still when you want to move the most.

Because you have too much weight you will have to wait.~ Sevan Bomar

The Patience to ride the Storm and see it through.
When all you really want to do is run away, give up or part ways, with someone that means the world to you.

Yet patience will help you stand all the way through the hurt and rejection.

As you say no to the energies of anxiousness, you know that being patient is the right thing to do and the lack thereof is long overdue.

Humility

“A humble person is slow to offend and quick to forgive. Humility is keenly mindful of the grace it has received and is quick to extend that grace to others.” ~ Craig Finnestad

For those times when we’re not feeling the love from the ones closest to you.

The ones who have that special place in your heart.

Yet in action and words that are few, they show they ain’t feeling you.

How do you respond when you are taken by surprise because you thought that the two of you were as one? As you question if love between you had ever won
When it seems so completely to be forever lost.

I bid you hold the space for the ones you love.
And to remember that hurt people sometimes hurt other people, even the ones they love.
So try to the best of your ability to exercise the virtue of humility and give way to the possibility
That the one you love may be just having a bad day.
Allow space and time between you
And don’t take anything personally.

This is what I need right now. Thank you! Allow me to resteem this Ren!

When all you really want to do is run away, give up or part ways, with someone that means the world to you.

Sometimes it is difficult to run away, but there are times when it is the best thing to do. However just like you said, patience is important to make any relationship work.
