Far More Worse Things In Life To Fear Than Thunderstorms and Lightning

As nightly rituals go Mine is whattapping my old sister good night in South Africa And tonight she said a storm is a brewing And the only thing that South Africa does better than extreme corruption is electric thunderstorms So much so when she was a child she used to creep into my parents bedroom So my Dad could cradle her while keeping her safe and watching it beside her And in so doing turned the fear of thunder and lighting into a form of creature comfort and the happiest of memory
