Dear Momordica,
It was not long ago ....
.... since I last saw you.
A BIG BABY you were then.
Oh, how very fast you have grown!
Could not quite believe my eyes!
You are now ....
.... everywhere ....
.... on the trellis which I have specially constructed for you.
I know how DIFFICULT life is to you these days ....
.... on this seventh floor's balcony ....
That have little daily sun exposure to enjoy ....
.... PLUS .....
.... occasional harsh weathers to battle with ....
.... TORRENTIAL RAINS ....
.... and HIGH WINDS.
I am most grateful that ....
.... despite so ....
.... INCREDIBLY, ....
.... despite so ....
.... INCREDIBLY, ....
.... you are thriving!
And are now flowering ....
.... profusely.
I PRAY THAT somehow, some kind insects ....
.... would find your pollens.
And would happily transport them to your stigmas.
So that beautiful, delicious PEARL WHITE GOURDS could form.
And put smiles on my face!
Though ALREADY you have actually ....
.... put them ( smiles ) on my face.
RIGHT NOW.
With your many cheery, tender yellow blooms ....
.. . everywhere.
.. . everywhere.
And your lush healthy leaves ....
.... that send out heavenly bitter sweet scent ....
.... every time I brush past you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, oh dear Momordica!
For growing so happily and healthily ....
.... DESPITE all difficulties.
And let me SOAK UP all YOUR GOODNESS ( HAPPINESS )!
Sincerely,
JADE
