Impatience

It is hard to change but there is one trait

That I would really like to cultivate-

Patience unfortunately is not a virtue I possess

And impatience often comes in the way of success

With any endeavor in which I get involved

With a little patience, more problems in my life would be solved..

*

When you are always on the go

You want to control the flow

Of events in your life, impatient you become

When at your desired speed things don’t get done

Impatience leads to anger and dissatisfaction

And worsens with everyone else your interaction

That does not help speed things, and you

Become increasingly frustrated too

*

I hope with more patience I would not get frustrated as fast

One needs to wait for good things that last

I must give up the need for constant control

And go with the flow, let things at their own pace roll

*

I am being impatient now, a deep breath I should take

And calm myself down for my own sake

Each time I realize my impatience I resolve

To slow down, let problems at their pace to be solved
