Patients Of A Lioness Poem by Britney Hogue

She is stunning and miraculous
The way she moves among the grass
As she stocks the grazing antelopes
Every pound of muscle and strength
All wound into a silent, deadly predator
Its amazing, the patients and calmness
As she awaits the prize to arrive

How is something so patient
Never rushing, just calmly waiting
Waiting… Waiting… Waiting…
Till she knows the prize is in reach
Then with all her great strength
She grabs the unknowing prey
And enjoys her awaited victory

Should we contain such patients
Everyday seems like a life race
But for what gain do we run
We’re all headed to the same ending
Why not take our precious time
And await the rewarding prize
Instead of running head first into it.

Enjoy this life that God has given
Its only given once to an individual
To make it all that it can be
Why be in such a hurry to finish
Take a slow route and enjoy life
Stepping away from the fury of mankind
And realize the real purpose we have
