Like pennies in a red piggy bank
Like stitches in a well worn side seam
Like water drops on eager earth
Like steps up a mountain path
Like stirs of a wooden spoon
Like actually flossing your teeth
Like looking up when they say “Look at me!”
Like getting out of bed in the morning
Like studying deep into the night
Your effort now
Will pay off later.
Patience,
My friend.
