Patience is a Virtue

Look not for gold when you hold it in your hand

If you love - share it
If you care - show it
When someone's in need - give to them
Greed only makes you lonely
If someone is angry - listen
If someone's distant - have patience
If someone is happy - be also happy
When there is sadness - speak wisely
When you argue - think about what you are saying
If you forgive - forget
If you promise - keep it
If you dream - live it
If you seek only to attain - you will lose it
When there is stability - pray for stability
If you see - look again
When you can't - have faith
If you take a step - take another
When you can't - wait
Patience is a virtue
