Penance and patience carry sorrow with joy
A steady beat moving without any ploy
Slow as the turtle step after step
Penance and patience working off debt
The world's heartbeat calms when seen through the eyes
Of one who on penance and patience relies
The frenetic noisemaking of desperate men
Moves to the background when practicing them
Penance and patience carry sorrow with joy
When they are leading to One without any ploy
Slow as a turtle quick as a breath
Steadily guiding to Him who killed death
God bless,
