One virtue

Amongst the things
A knight must learn
Prowess, Justice, Courage, Loyalty
One of the hardest burdens must be
Patience which must always be with thee
In any situation where
Disappointment surrounds me
I need to stand my ground, grit my teeth
And stand there patiently
With every injustice that comes my way
My patience wears thin
But in actual fact it grows so that in the future
My patience wins
Amongst all others, this one virtue
Is the hardest to bear,
But, I have found, that it will be the one
That gets me there
