A2Z April Challenge P is for Patience

A runny nose, constricted throat
Tears clouding eyes
Its common cold
She washes hands every two seconds
Water boiling in kettle endlessly

She knows
Its not easy to stay calm
There is too much stress
In everyone life

Fear gripped the city
Everybody cooped at home
Neighbors don't ring the doorbell
Watchman calls on intercom
Announcing the arrival of vegetable vendor
She snaps at him
Scolding him for calling up at odd hours
She changes into formal dress
Walks downstairs
Greets the man
Asking him to be patient with her
Apologises for harsh words
Grief reflects the inner pain.

She knows
Its hard
But practise she must
Find something for distraction
Music song dance
To soothe her nerves
Maybe she could create
A delicious recipe
Taking a tip from a cookbook

She knows
Its matter of time
Tolerance conquers all
Patience is companion of wisdom
The fear will melt gradually
Sunshine comes back at dawn
Nature does not hurry
Yet everything is accomplished with time

Scientist working night and day
Research cure of Covid19
To bring life back on tracks
When everybody can breathe free

Till then
Patience is the best virtue of all.
