Now It Has

Life is great. Life is grand. Things are happening and she is bobbing to the music Her feet are prancing. Her heart is dancing. How could things get better? BAM! One phone call Annihilates every bit of joy. Gun violence. She never expected it to reach her family. But now it has.

'Things are happening...' .It is the greatest inner feeling everyone should have. You never can imagine what happens next. We hear or see 'violence...' and 'never expected it reach' our 'family. But now it has'. And it can happen to anybody in this our unpredictable world. Good thoughtful lines, my dear!

I do not want to be an alarmist, but life abruptly changes.

Sad story and so real in many countries. One of the reasons I have moved from South Africa. I am finding new peace in Spain. Kind wishes, Kai
