Be patient, give chances. - 15th December 2010.


They shall endow.

Inherit the blues,
for they will obey.
Contrive the hidden,
for they will stay.
Bless the unfortunate,
for they shall strive.
Endow the meek,
for they shall thrive.
Forsake an ember,
for they shall be sought.
Refer to the callow,
for they shall mature.
Yeild the uncertain,
until they are sure.

Hints of Walter Scott,(in places)
I loved it.

Certainty is elusive and fleeting at most,
to yield is knightly too! Something to keep in the breast pocket, close to the heart as we enter and leave each day. Thanks for sharing.

This I have done thus leaving my heart and soul in turmoil, I required a spiritual rest. In time to come all those who are in the darkness of self-doubt might see the light before the next storm. This is about the ending of a very important point in my life whereas the rest is for me unless instructed otherwise from a higher source. My patience and many, many chances equals forgiveness with the common sense to move on. Thanks for this wonderful poem, like sugar it helps the bitterness taste a bit better.
