patience

Misty morning with a sunrise like no other

The bright white of snow fresh fallen smiles back at us

Like the hope of dawn that always comes 

Pouring out the love of ages that collect within the edges

The perfection of each crystalline formation 

Shining and smiling, giving us a show 

A promise formed in the sky and sinking into the earth

Pushing on patience to know it must wait

But oh the wait is well worth it when water glimmers

When the children play and refreshment finds us all 

Patience feels like nothing but a drop in the bucket 

Called Life.
