Patience

Patience, my child,
All do not understand.
Matters of the heart are known
Only by a joyous few.

Some may never comprehend,
Be not short with them.
Instead show them pity
For they are not as bountiful.

Pay no heed to their criticism
For their jealousy speaks it.
Hold tight to your lover
And hear solely his words of love.

Be patient, dear one,
You have everything you need.
While they flounder for
The fleeting ghost of your love.
