I would give you wisdom, but I do not possess it.

I would give you money. If any were to be found in my pocket.

I would give you hope. If despair was not my disposition.

I cannot give wisdom, money, or hope.

I can provide patience. If only you could sit still.

I can provide love. If you'd stay to receive it.

I can provide tolerance. if you can bear to put up with me.

I can provide patience, love, and tolerance.

I will give if you will take. 

My faults outweigh my lessons.

Are we shackled by differences?

What am I? Who are you?
