And, oh, yes...Miracles do happen! Awesome read...yet again! ~M. Park Honeydew (c) Jeanetta Britt You love honeydew The color and shape appeal to you The flavor and texture fulfills your needs You're even willing to put up with the seeds. But they're out of season now And the taste is a little suspect You bought one anyhow And ate it to your regret. You can eat it out of season And mess around with the mushy pulp Or wait for the former and latter rain And the goodness of God to show up. In His time, there'll be a season For your honeydew And you'll find fruit in season Tastes real, real sweet to you. "Lottie goes home...home is where we were before we had issues."
