Birthday Reflection

Where was I? Who was I?
Nowhere! Nobody!
Until you formed me
Gave me shape and breath
It's fascinating how you knit me
Delicately, intricately, perfectly
Precious in your eyes
And you have held me
Always

Vedaraj Thatha - Grandpa memories

The lightning pierced through the sky as if a huge rock was struck by another. I started counting, one missisipi, two mississipi, three missisipi, four ... then roared the thunder! The storm centered about 3 miles away made the trees lining the highway sway vigorously. The dislodged leaves while seeking refuge on my windshield were promptly wiped off by the wiper working hard to give me the vision of the road.
