I’m from a place where
people call me Patient
but think I’m impatient

I’m from a place where
people think I’m seven
but I’m turning eleven

I’m from a place where
when I finish reading Revelations
I thank God for my generation

I’m from a place where
doctors, educators, mentors and innovators
think I’m sick
but I say, Hell, No!

My name is Patient!
It’s a homophone
I’m from DR. AD Lazarus
