Patience and Mercy

Patience and mercy where are you?

I walk as if I have been offended again

I pout as if only I matter

Like a silly child with no thumb

To put into my mouth

Really!!!!

God, this is so me!

You must be tired of me

Always doing this!

No patience! No mercy!

Please forgive me as I need to

Forgive others

Is it as hard for You to forgive me?

To show me patience when I’m childish

To show me Your tender mercies

When I fail

As it is for me to show patience

And mercy towards others?

No, because You forgive and forget!

Your tender mercies are new every morning

Your patience is a never-ending supply

I am so sorry!

Rough Ride

Waiting is not a kindred spirit of mine

I do not get along with it nor do I want too

I get gravelly like a rough road

That irritates rather than soothes

Expectations and reality do not

Ride well togther

They jostle each other

Pushing and shoving the have their own way

In the end there is no winner

For each must take a backseat to

Disappointments and loneliness

Along with a big dose of uninportance

With self-pity riding shotgun

Emotional bridges loom ahead

They must be faced then crossed

One at a time, step by step

For to not forge ahead no matter

what may be coming means

Stagnation of spirit and soul

Leaving only withered hopes behind.
