Forbearance

Themastermind of fortitude,

Restraintand self-control

Seesa world of possibilities

Inchoices to be made.

 

Committedto consideration

Whereall sides get an equal eye

Andpatience is a sleepy sloth

Whotreads the tangle of tolerance.

 

Andall is a matter of attitude,

Ofknowing when to halt and hold, 

Ofreading the sighs and subtleties

Andwaiting for the flap to fade.

 

Noneed for angry altercation

Whenrespect will edify to

Cuta clearer, broader swath and

Leadthe way to deference.

 

Sweetforbearance, take my hand

Whenpassions winnow high.

Giveme pause to find the cause

Andsoftly

    Simplify.
