Verily, I say unto you...

Only the ones that have patience & fortitude

Can

Allow themselves the luxury to wait for a Top Story or a WIN

Lest they shrivel up or head for the hills of Once Upon a Time!

This poem is for D.K. Shepard's unofficial acrostic challenge!

    Patience is the greatest virtue. Practice is and a mountain of frustrations vanish. ⚡💙⚡

    Patience and fortitude indeed!! I've always been considered somewhat gifted in the patience department, but even I'm running rather low! Love this acrostic, Shirley!! So glad you joined in the fun!!
