Patience

Young wise and reckless

A contradiction in itself

She thought she knew it all

Except about herself

Intrigued by many things

Explore as reasons come

But one thing she was lacking

As she traveled to and from

The joy within her heart

Had one empty spot

She wants to fill the void

Without forgetting what she’s taught

She ask herself these questions

What? Why and when?

Will she meet her mate?

And when will life begin?

Always feels so lonely

But she's never alone

Independent woman

With her mind and body strong

She wants to ascend higher

But she can't do this all alone

Humans need companions

It is that that sets the tone

Fear of what they'll say

And the consequences ahead

She wants and needs the passion

But she chose to wait instead

Trusting what will come

Will be worth the lonely wait

Destiny will come

Time is not her fate

It was made for one real purpose

Though the pleasure is a plus

Patience and resistance

And pray to God she trust.
