Learning an art,
Teaching a pupil,
Understanding a friend,
Growing in a relationship,
Parenting a kid,
Achieving career success,
Quest for knowledge,
So many tasks,
So many challenges.
Wish I had a magic wand,
Or a map of sorts,
Leading way to the treasure,
A solution to all challenges.
“Patience”, A treasure,
True treasure indeed.

Prompt over at writer’s island this week is “treasure”, I have been struggling with patience for a long long time, I seem to be failing to develop the most important skill in human survival.

Beautiful.. and you are right, patience is a true treasure indeed.. If you do get the map, do send it my way
Thinking aloud said
wait till you parent a child…you’ll realize that you had patience all along but was waiting for the right forum to show it
UL said
I could use plenty of it, if you ask me, patience is sure a virtue…very nice take indeed!

Those are indeed true treasures!

True treasures one and all. Learning to be patient is a great gift once we stop fighting ourselves. Great poem.

patience hasn’t found me yet either…… or me IT! Though I do see glimpses of it in some of the activities I do more so than in others.
nice take on the prompt.

Lovely Rambler… patience is a treasure indeed, but you’ve captured these qualities here in a way that is precious…
bluebutterfly said
lea said it … you have captured the qualities perfectly ……
it was really lovely …. one does gradually learn to patient when you have a little sister who thinks she can get anything she wants …. ;p
