Joy of Waiting
A JOY OF WAITING
An old lady, encountered a little girl in the park where she played after school. She was crying over the lost of her shoes and was devastated of her beautiful red shoes
The gray haired lady offered help to look for the child lost red shoes at the park. The next day, they met at the same spot, where she saw the child still crying, after a deep grasp of air..she gave her a hug.
Frustrated to find the red shoes, she made up a parable, about the lost shoes and will tell her about the tale, when they meet up again at the park. The little girl sat besides her on the bench and listen.
“Please do not grieve my dear little friend,
I walk a mile to see what is beyond this town, I rode a train to see the big city
and my eagerness, took me to explore the world. I will tell you more about my adventures, when I return”.
Every time she and the little girl meet,
she’ll continue telling the adventures of the red shoes. The little child agreed with the old lady and she can’t wait to see her red shoes back again.
It was Christmas morning, the old lady has a brightly wrapped package on her hands with letter attached. She’s eagerly cant wait to see the child’s face but was surprise after seeing a new red shoe...
the letter explained;
“My trip have transformed me”, I’m more beautiful and polished. Years past, the little child has grown up and saw the dusty letter inside the box of her favorite
red shoes, kept in her closet.
She dusted and read..”don’t weep over the lost, for you’ll find a better one after missing a lost love, a rainbow will appear after a dark rain clouds poured in and at the end of a dreary tunnel, a bright light awaits you.”
Now, a young lady, away from her family for the first time, to pursue her dream and left her hometown crying. She travel a long miles, carrying only the dream, she kept in her heart.. after graduation, she was back, wearing a crown.
