Look Up

I rubbed the tummy of the Bhudda
Hoping good luck would befall on me
But short of not being eaten by a Barracuda
I'm still waiting patiently to see
You haven't called or dropped by
Guess I need to have patience
I should try bravely not to sigh
I must concentrate on your presence
For Bhudda to answer my prayer
One day I'll look up and
....youll finally be there!

About this poem:
If you rub the tummy of a Bhudda statue
and make a wish it is supposed to come
true. One must have patience...and believe...Little Grasshopper!!

I came across this quote about patience:
"What is patience? It is a divine virtue. Unfortunately we are not only badly wanting in this divine virtue, but we also neglect it most foolishly."
Can't agree more. Even without rubbing the tummy of Buddha, if not wanting in patience, we can hope for something good coming our way. Wish your luck were always with you, dear poet! Thank you for sharing!heart wings bouquet

Thanks Ayhra. Trying to sarcastically demonstrate
that just wishfull thinking of whatever you are after
is perhaps not enough. Some positive thinking and
action might go a long way.grin angel cool hug teddybear
