Patience – 20th Word in the "Good Word" Project. (Poem)

While my patience hasn't gotten any better with Trump having daily so-called news conferences where he lies for up to 2 hours and becomes a tyrant attacking reporters who dare to report what he says and what he does, I think I have better than average patience for this quarantine we are having now.

It really doesn't bother much that I must stay alone most of the time inside my abode. Many other people are going stir crazy it seems. I wonder if it's because they are urged to stay at home and do the things they would normally do there anyway, or because someone or something is insisting they stay at home. Maybe it's just the idea of being all but forced to stay home, where without that order, they might well do it anyway, because it was their own idea instead of someone else's.

I really have no patience for people who are so persistent in taking other people's lives in order to open up the economy so they can resume worshiping the money god. I think maybe that is the reason so many Republicans accuse Democrats of not being godly -- fewer Democrats worship the money god, and that is a fact.

The God of Heaven has no respect for the money god or its worshippers. Somehow a lot of people seem to have these 2 mixed up. The God of Heaven doesn't think anyone should endanger people's lives in order to satisfy the money god and He has strongly stated that it is easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy person to get into Heaven.

Conservatives are showing their true colors now. They hate abortion (so they say), but it's okey-dokey to kill off Grampa and Gramma and anyone with a disability in order to satisfy the money god.

Hope you are staying in and staying safe. Seems to me those people out rioting against staying inside will experience a self-correcting situation and there will be fewer Trump voters by fall. Of course Putin will put his thumb on the scale again anyway to see that his favorite president gets re-elected.

Posting this to FB & AH.

Despite some misguided people imagining that Trump is the "second coming," he is not, nor is he even close to being a miracle. I find I have less patience of late. Less patience for Trump, and even less patience for his supporters.

Can't believe some Trump supporters are saying Nancy Pelosi was having a tantrum when she tore up Trump's speech full of lies as usual. After Trump throws several tantrums daily over silly things they have the gall to accuse someone else who clearly has control over her words and actions of being worse than Trump! I think many of these supporters should just be committed because they are clearly not living in reality. Nancy is not nervous or throwing tantrums. She knows what she's doing. On the other hand, Trump knows nothing, much less what he's doing. The worst president in the entire history of this country!

Anyway, it's past time for this dog and pony show to end and I can't wait until we can go back to some semblance of order and civilization. Hopefully I will regain my patience again.

I doubt I will ever look at people the same way again though. So many have shown they are morally bankrupt. I doubt I will ever have the patience again to hear anything out of a Republican mouth after the terrible things they have supported their hero doing.

Seems like I have less patience as time goes on. Have none at all for those people who still, after all the terrible things Trump has done, continue to support him. Seems like he's been in office forever. Not sure he should be trusted even to pardon the turkeys at Thanksgiving.

Trump really seems to believe that his political enemies are committing treason by not agreeing with him. Are there any bounds on this man's ignorance?

Hope all is going well for you, Shyron. Take care . . .

Back to visit this excellent poem and this amazing drawing of your grandmother. Patience is definitely a virtue worth cultivating.

Hope you and John are enjoying the lovely weather we've been having (not the bad storms of course, with hail and high winds), but the pretty days in between those storms. Won't be long and the heat will be here . . .

Hope all is well with you both and Chipper. Take care dear friend . . .

Must say your grandmother looked pretty young for 95. I'm glad you took a photo before painting it too. I think there's a way to take paint off of canvas without damaging what's under it. They do that sometimes when they find someone has painted over a painting done by a more important painter.

Sharing this. Patience is a virtue and I've had to have a lot of patience these last few months. For some reason a lot of people mistake patience for weakness. Really, it takes more strength.

Take care . . .

This drawing of your grandmother is nothing short of incredible and amazing and if this is how she really looked at 95, she certainly looked young for her age!

Patience is indeed a virtue and I think more things would go well or at least better if we all had patience with each other. Very often, if only allowed to do so, time solves many problems.

Sharing as always. Hope all is well with you and John. Take care . . .

Lovely!! I was just thinking about patience today in my yoga practice---sharing!!

A lovely poem Shyron which describes the true meaning of patience. Your Grandmother must have been a wonderful example and obviously inspired you.

Your dedication and tenacity to the Good Word's project is amazing and certainly a gift to your readers! Sending you Good thoughts....Paula

Patience is definitely required in today's world pretty much all the time. I have more now that it's cooled off a little. Science has proven that people lose their tempers and become violent more easily when it's so, so hot.

This is such a great poem. Sharing it again . . .

Hope all is well there. Take care . . .

My patience has all but worn out, I think. I'm so tired of the struggle and getting nowhere. I would never have the patience to cut all that grass in the heat with the sun beating on me like you do.

Hope all is well there and that the sun hasn't done you in. Take care . . .

Patience, something I have more of sometimes than at other times. God advices us to be patient while we wait for our reward.

Voted up and awesome, posted on FB, Pinned on AH, and shared on HP. Hope you got your grass all cut and that you're having a restful cool night. God bless and have a great week . . .

This is absolutely beautiful@! I love this blog because Patience was embodied by my own Grandma and now my Mom. That drawing captures the unconditional love your grandma must have had for all of her family. She seemed like an anel on Earth and your poem was a great tribute to her. Thank you for sharing this.

As always Very beautiful Shyron! I love the drawing of your beautiful grandma. How very sweet and I thank you so much for your inspiring words to all of the *good words* . May God always keep you in his arms and the blessings continue to come your way. hugs sis

Up, shared & tweeted. :-)

A great tribute to your awesome grandma! Lovely drawing, voted up.

What a sweet and loving dedication to your grandmother. I like that you have included the beautiful photo and drawing as well.

You wrote a lovely poem about how she showed great forms of yielding and leniency to handle those children. Patience is love because it is in the heart.

I voted this up and shared it.

Loving tribute, dear Shyron.

You are a true artist with that amazing drawing and I am so happy you did take a photo of it. You are also an artist with words, so encouraging and inspirational indeed.

Thank you for sharing about your precious "Mammaw" ... in your beautiful poem on patience. I am reminded of my sweet mother, who was the most patient person on this planet I have ever known.

Blessings for a lovely Sunday

I am glad you are displaying your drawings, they are really good! Your poetry is a beautiful tribute to your Mammaw. ( BTY That's what my grandchildren call me. ) I think this is my favorite. " If you go swim in the blue hole and drown..) made me lol, reminded me of something my mother would say...

A great message from your hubs and you always do it so well. A thoughtful one and with a unique expression.

What a beautiful poem Shyron, as is the drawing of your grandmother. The oem incorporated with the angel is wonderful. All in all a terrific hub to accompany the 'Good Word Project'.

What a tender and loving tribute, dear Shyron...be patient with yourself, you are always worth the wait with your beautiful work. Love, Maria

Hi Shyron, Simply beautiful was the poem. Thank you and thanks to Au fait for sharing * Patience is a great virtue...

What an incredible drawing! I like the poem too, and it's a wonderful tribute to Mammaw. My own mother had the greatest patience, both with people and animals, but my own patience is limited -- maybe because there were 5 of us and I only got 1/5. ;) Still, I have more patience than many people or I wouldn't be able to do what I do.

Voted up and BAI, pinned to AH, and shared!

I'm glad you took a picture of the drawing you made of your "Mawmaw", too, Shyron. It's a beautiful drawing, as is your tribute to her as your ideal of patience.

I often think that truly patient people have a great wellspring of love inside them that they call upon to overcome those moments when we ordinary mortals tend to 'lose it.' I've tried, throughout my adult life, to become more patient because it is not a virtue that's ever come natural to me. Thankfully, I've had some success...but I'll never be in the class with your beloved grandma.

Voted Up and Beautiful/Shared (because who among us doesn't need to be patient?)

P.S. Shyron, it's obvious that you inherited your sweet spirit from your grandma. I know she would be very proud of you.
