Understanding What is Given
I am understanding.
I wait for things longer than I should; promise after promise I’m still waiting.
I understand the conditions of life even as a little child. I don’t know where this ability to give a second change came from, but I call it a gift from God.
I give you years of no complaining; you may not even know that I understand.
And even forget the whole thing.
I am patient
I give you the slap on the hand and move on.
No need to apologize, I have already forgiven you.
I am human. You are human.
I am different from the others stable and in place.
I never forget or use it against you; I see you trying to do all you can.
So why should I judge? For you are doing your best.
Even if it hurts to know you don’t put any attention to my request.
I will always forgive no matter what; as I said before a gift from God.
I am understanding.
