To listen to his son whine about being bored.
He finds it hard
To listen to his son whine
about being bored.
To keep a straight face when
people complain about potholes.
To be tolerant of people who
complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
To be understanding when a
co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.
To be silent when people
pray to God for a new car.
To control his panic when
his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.
To be compassionate when a
businessman expresses a fear of flying.
To keep from laughing when
anxious parents
say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
To keep from ridiculing
someone who complains about hot weather.
To control his frustration
when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.
To remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.
To be civil to people who
complain about their jobs.
To just walk away when
someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.
To be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in
the house.
The only thing harder than
being a Soldier
Is loving one.
