There is joy in waiting

What joy is to a mother
If she conceives today and gives birth tomorrow
What joy is to a farmer
If he sows in the morning and reaps in the evening
What joy is in freedom
If there had been no struggle and suffering
What joy is in getting to the top
If there has been no falls or stumbling blocks
What joy is in love
If there has been no pangs and pain

Before every cyclone there's a depression
Before every eruption there's a suppression
And before every beautiful butterfly there is a caged pupa
The bottom line - there is joy in waiting
