Long-suffering

 A Poem about Long-suffering


By Dennis Dames


Tolerantly patient
...through the delays and dissapointments
Firm enchantment of the good life
...in a realm of desired peacefulness

When fair-weather soldiers cry...
...we meekly sigh
Right was momma
...not easy it is

Through it all
...love is everywhere
...so are the good,bad and ugly

Rise forgivingly above chaff and empty talk
...delightful experiences speak truthfully for themselves

Resolute heart of peace
...easy-going spirit
...tolerant against all odds
Joyfully pledged life amid endless wars
...resigned about the things beyond my control

No time for toxic diversions
...faithful tolerance staunchly withstands
Everyday soul of unshaken fondness
...despite unforeseen hurt and pain

No life without death
No healthiness without sickness
No concord without discord
No happiness without sadness
No certainty without confusion
No sweet without bitter
No love without hate
...long-suffering's truly honorable
