Impatience hasty, hard to endure.
One waits with a peaceful heart,
The other rushes, tearing apart.

Impatience rushed, never at ease.
One breathes with a steady pace,
The other runs, a frantic race.

Patience endures, with quiet might,
Impatience eager, day and night.
One perseveres, strong and true,
The other demands, what to do?
Calm and Restless:

Impatience restless, demand.
One waits with a gentle grace,
The other pushes, quicken pace.
Endurance and Haste:

The other rushes, no place to hide.
The Waiting Game:
Patience, calm with time to spare,
Impatience, restless in the air.
Patience, waits with steady heart,
Impatience, tears the time apart.
Patience builds with every day,
Impatience, rushes dreams away.
Both together, teach us well,
In their balance, futures tell.
