My Patience

My patience

Like a heart that was torn .......
And refused to let go of her spine
Although he knew it was very painful thorn
But he knows it is able to strengthen
It was always thought about all errors
Before the crash, he had felt hurt
But again, he refused to turn
He knew that he was weak
But he tried to fight
Although he knew there was water flowing from his eyes
But he persisted
And though he knew his heart was so cracked
But he tried to return 
He will not give up and continue to be patient
Mother god.You ... ..
It is me
Pain, Pain, Heart is me
And I will try to survive the wait
Waiting patiently on a dangling bond
Yes ... .. A bond that is not yet clear
A conviction say ...
He gave me the gift of God
He is in my heart ......
