Twist

Years and years she waited
For a prince charming to ride in
Never another man she sated
Until the prince managed to her win

Everyday she prayed and prayed
For nothing more than wedded bliss
Never worked and never paid
But a family life, just this

The wedding came and went
And so did many other things
Nine months was soon heaven sent
From an angel with pretty wings

But on that fateful day
Out came a toad without delay
The only twist that wretched the wife
But without a twist, what is life

fear

For years I had played that lil’ prank on his mother. Hiding behind doors and in closets for her to pass unwarily. And then jump out with an almost gentle “boo” until she screamed and leapt out of her skin. Many a time she even hurt herself from the fear of that gentle boo.
Lil Arshad was lying on his back, like most 6 month olds in his crib. I hid in the closet and when Mumma left, I jumped out and screamed, “Boo”
He burst out, laughing.


P.S:
Fear is something you learn on the way.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
