Patience, I wait for your call
Your text, your rant
I draw breath and smile
The words flow gently
Regardless of your anger
Kindness, I give this willingly to you
Despite the fact you hate
They are just words
The kinder I am to you
The less hatred you show.
Silence, time for you to speak
I will listen, hear and understand
Your words are important to me
The more you speak, the quieter I am
The calmer you become
Love, I give to you in abundance
Through smiles, kind words and patience
You don’t see the love yet,
You take it all from me
In time you will return it
You are difficult to me, to yourself
Your anger is portrayed in speech and actions
In time, it dissipates,
In time you hear me again
In time you will find your way
