I cannot believe the setup you gave me by (1) discussing patience and (2) posting song lyrics. Forgive me now, I'm going to indulge myself.
I wrote a song a few years ago (about the time I met my W). I wrote it remembering a college break-up, but it's been so applicable to things, I've been remembering it over the last few months. It's called... Patience... believe it or not. I apologize if this seems self-indulgent but your posts motived me to share.
Patience (C) William Mansfield (hah hah! I've always wanted to do that)
Looking out at the falling snow No wood for a fire I turn the lights down low As I begin to retire My mind is numb and my hands are cold And I'm tired of being alone The dark skies make be feel old This winter is all my own
I know the cold will end Though it goes on, day after day Seasons change, and change again And that what makes me stay All I need is a little patience
Looking out at the naked trees All covered with snow They sway in the winter breeze It's a feeling that I know I feel like I'm dead inside But I plan to persevere Had enough of strength and pride It's faith that keeps me here
I know the cold will end Though it goes on, day after day Seasons change, and change again And that what makes me stay All I need is a little patience
Another storm is rolling in Bringing hail and rain I feel the chill again But it's just more of the same Left cold after all I've tried But I still smile to think of you So I guess I'll stay inside And just enjoy the view
I know the cold will end Though it goes on, day after day Seasons change, and change again And that what makes me stay All I need is a little patience All I need is a little patience
