Patience and Hope

by Morning Song

I sit on the porch

wrapped in my

warm blanket

and feel the

cool wind against

my cheek

it flows through

my hair

makes it's way

to my ear

and whispers

(oh so softly)

'it could be'

'Patience'

it counsels me

the Tender one

needs time

there is much

to sort through

to give this

reason and rhyme

You are a hope

a thing she

set aside

She is your hope

just give it

some time

'Patience'

it counsels me

just give it

some time

now blow out

the candle

and go inside
