Jack
The rain that had been falling all morning had dissipated
but dark clouds still covered the sky.
For some unknown reason she glanced at the clock
and noted the time
Simultaneously the clouds parted
and the sun streamed in through the large bay window
Filling the room with light and warmth
It only lasted a few minutes then the sky clouded over again
An hour or so later the phone rang,
“Great news.” Said her daughter, “you have a great grandson.”
“He was born at 1:26 pm precisely”
1:26 pm precisely,
when the sun had streamed into her room.
He brought with him sunshine, that boy.
as his twenty two years have proven.
