to protect the tree the flowers wait to open ‘til the time is right
patience is easy when you know how long you’ll wait before the next train
even if we can see the target, hitting it is not guaranteed
winter into spring presents many challenges that require patience
it is easier to try to forget something than to wait for it
it may take a while even several attempts but patience pays off
to us the tree is never changing, to the tree we’re a passing phase
we once required patience in order to make memories special
there is much to see in the works of others while we wait for our time
some are accustomed to waiting; day in, day out to do just one thing
