Any time I don't understand something <br />Or feel unhappy with the way things are going, <br />Anger steps up, 'use me; let me help' <br />And I used to give Anger a lot of free rein, <br />Till I noticed Anger wasn't all that useful <br />And generally tended to only make things worse. <br /> <br />Now I try to rely more on 'Patience' <br />As Patience doesn't keep clicking that counter, <br />Adding up every resentment of the hour. <br />Besides, I can look straight into Patience's face <br />And not have one clue what Patience is thinking of. <br />You know, Anger could learn something from that.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anger-and-patience/
