From 'Dear Me' to Dear You :)

All our frantic 'Dear me-ing' cannot make 'them' see what life insists on teaching in its own time...

I cannot force into your head

The lessons I have learned

But must wait patiently instead

While your insight is earned

I cannot make you understand

Until perhaps you've worn

The sweat and tear, the prayer-clasped hand

Heart-strings, stretched, tattered, torn 

I cannot force with force, wisdom

Time's daily no return

Comes from the Hand of He who loves

And keeps us as we learn
