Patience

This year
January
has been about
Patience
waiting
for results
waiting
for snow.

There is a saying,
good things come
to those
who wait.

I've learned
this lesson
once before
three years later
I was blessed with
my babies.

So we shall continue
to wait
wait for the retreat
of glaucoma
wait for restored vision
in his Eye
BUT
the snow is here!

Some of us
enjoyed it
and some of us
did not.

But to be fair
she needed time
don't we all
when we experience
something new
our responses
can vary
certainly crying
is one way
I've dealt with
something new.

This girl
deals with life
slowly
but surely
whether it's
being born
being held
learning to eat
learning to move
feeling grass
feeling water
she just
needs time.

I can totally
relate
change
growth
new stuff
like fluffy white snow
these things
are hard
and so is
patience
especially when
you really don't know
where it all
will lead you to.

This one though
he is
not afraid
never has been
wasn't long
till he was
plowing through
the white stuff
like a little Eskimo.

He would fall

and get right back
up
with stuffy snow pants on
and all
that's what he does
that's what he has
always done.

Life
pushed him down
before he even knew
how to get
back up
and he still
does it anyway.

He just
brushes himself off
and gets back
in the game.

And game there was
watching
our crazy dog
try
to climb
a tree!

Truly
she is trying
to jump
and climb
the tree.

 

Lesson learned

try

try and fail

try and succeed

nothing is accomplished 

unless you

try.

She started to try

She touched the snow.
He tried
to taste the snow.

The dog
didn't get up
the tree
but she had fun
trying.

I tried 

to get a good shot 

of both of them

together enjoying 

the snow

this is my 

best shot.

I tried.

I am trying

to be 

patient

to just 

relax

embrace

enjoy

each moment

whether the result

is good

or bad

there is 

peace 

in 

patience.

And look who 

is smiling

in the 

snow!
