Sometimes All You Need Is Time...And Patience

---

This old gal…

Had a friend say…he’d driven hours…to visit a pawpaw patch…remembered the song…little me singing at the top of her lungs…pickin’ up those pawpaws…puttin’ em in the pocket…

Realize now…pretend pawpaw pickin’ up me…had no idea…what…a pawpaw was…and 55 years later…still didn’t…

Somewhere between a mango and a banana…also like a custard…says that pawpaw friend of mine…but apparently…he continues…to grow them…it takes time…and patience…

And then he finishes with…but that’s what I have (time and patience)…

Time and patience…in a world that seems to spin faster every day…what a gift these are…

The gift of time…use it wisely…
The gift of patience…use it…kindly…
Plant those seeds…and lovingly…watch them grow…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
