Ever-patient Lady

I come to you in quandary

How do you lift your bowl so high?

How do you catch the vicious venom?

Lady of the Staying Power

How do you catch without seething hate?

How do work your Will?

I come, a creature without patience

May I hold your bowl a moment?

May I learn of your long-suff'ring?

I come, a small mortal

Offering my hand

Ever-patient Lady
