A Moment of Shelter

Under the relentless patter of rain, a small mouse scurried across the drenched earth, each drop a world-shaking crash to her tiny frame. She sought refuge and, in a stroke of luck, found herself under the broad petals of a daisy, jeweled with beads of rain. Standing on her hind legs, she gazed up, mesmerized by the delicate shield above. For a brief, quiet moment, she felt safe, shielded from the storm by nature’s kindness. Beneath that daisy, she embraced the peace, her reflection shimmering in a puddle below—a fleeting sanctuary, a reminder of resilience in even the smallest hearts.
