On Becoming Patient

So, today I got the chance to go fishing again. I went by myself. I decided, it would be a chance to get away from the hubub of life and have a bit of time with God. Unfortunately I have this really bad habit of carrying on conversations with random voices in my head, so it wasn't really the time with God that I had hoped. Plus I just have no patience so I'm not the greatest of fisherman. But I did have some thinking time and I did think about being fisher of men and not just a fisherman. Peter was a fisherman and Jesus called him from his fishing life to become fisher of men. So I thought, well maybe the trick lies in being a real fisherman, but without patience its not always easy. So a poem of patience.

Patience my child
Do you not know
Not everything comes quickly
My children have been waiting
nearly two thousand years
For the return of my kingdom
You can't even wait two hours
For a fish to bite
Patience my child
Will lead you to wisdom
Patience will lead you to me
Patience is a virtue
With Patience comes calmness
With patience comes new horizons
Love becomes stronger
Life becomes easier
You and I become closer
Patience my child
That is all that you need
Wait and pray
Be vigilant tonight
Learn of patience
Patience my love
I will come back
You just have to learn patience
