Have Patience With Me

Photo by Rachel B. Baxter

Have patience with me
when I am pulled in many directions,
when the coffee pot is always brewing,
and my mind is stirring around the clock.

Have patience with me
when my cup is empty
and yours is, too,
when cold fall loneliness has turned
our warm hands blue.

It’s ok, sometimes,
to not know what to say or do.

Have patience with me,
this is all new to me, too.
