From a first time DAD and MOM to their first born child SEAN 
 
Patience is a virtue 
I read this line from 
Benjamin Franklin's autobiography 
a decade ago 
 
I t was only yesterday 
I had applied the patience applicability 
in a practicable way 
 
Being a first time Dad 
Patience is indeed a virtue 
Patience teaches me  
to hold temper 
when my first born cries 
breaking the silent dawn 
 
Patience draws sacrifices 
when i prepare formula (nan h.w. one)  milk 
before waking -up morn 
 
and it is through patience 
my wife was be able to deliver 
our first born via natural birth
