Fielding constant interruptions.
Managing other’s disruptions.
Stroking egos & nodding wise.
Warm hearths with truth & kindly lies.
Gaming out solutions for them.
Quenching every dramatic whim.
Rare, I help & am helped in turn.
Begin to share & blithely spurned.
Ears are favored with zero voice.
Equal take & give’s not a choice.
Patience thin; still calls are answered.
Biting tongues just may cause cancers.
New chance encounters are so few.
So, what is patience meant to do?
Shush perseveres; til limit’s met.
If someone listens…ready, set.
