A destined child

"I shall be like a tree planted by the river ... " Psalm 1:3 A child born during thunderstorm that Braved thunder lightning, grew up but Could not cope brother Dane’s death Depression, fear took an ugly turn Even as comforted by his calm- Father, a revered church priest who Gave his child - 6yr old Nikola all the wanted love, Handed him the precious Bible and Inspired him with stories of Lord that Just made boy Nikola learn and Know the Bible by heart. Nikola Learned Czech, Serbo-Croatian from Mother who taught him patience - Nurturing talent, creativity and One of a kind eidetic memory Procuring him scientific spirit and Quest for wisdom that became a Rage making Nikola never once Stop in his storming life or Tire from the hardships that Unfolded at his each step of success Veracity stood by Nikola Tesla who Worked frantically for 20 hours a day Xper who found use of alternating current Yearned for peace in war torn world Zap was life of such an illustrious man.
