Worth the Wait

The tale of the papaya hasn't ceased

Each fruit it bore is worth the wait..

The first shoots came around September
Right when I was facing my own major battle

The scarred fruits, marred by circumstances
Borne forth by its mother tree without a tinge of sadness

All luscious and green, breathtakingly captivating!

Six months thereafter..
It was time.

Beautiful.. but beyond what anyone imagined it to be...

It was worth every sun shine..

Worth every raindrop..worth every glance..
It was such a beautiful day to finally hold it in my arms..

To marvel at its wonder.. and give reverence to the Great Creator..

This is worth many rainbows..

All that is beautiful is worth waiting,
Notwithstanding the atrocities,
No matter what the circumstances,
Life's beauty unfolds,
Even in the simplest of things..
Like this Papaya --
which is worth-waiting.
