I was driving yesterday and suddenly a bug hit my windshield. A little ticked off , I quickly turned on the windshield's cleaning mechanism. Water sprayed as the wipers wipe - cleaned my windshield. Did it twice as the first attempt didnt yield the clean state that I've wanted. Let the wipers on for a liitle longer to dry away the wet spots and to eliminate any residue, as I shifted my full attention again to my driving.Later that day, I've decided to clean my car. As I was cleaning it, I thought about the tiny bug that hit my windshield. Honestly, I dont care about that bug because its just a tiny bug which had no purpose for me, and its post existence will not be missed by any intelligent lifeform.
Then I realized that .. for a moment, when I was caught up on the elimination of the splatter caused by that tiny bug , all of my attention was on that annoying spot.. that the tiny little bug turned into, after hitting my windshield. For a few seconds then, I didnt care about the traffic, where I'm headed and even safety. All I care was to remove the gluey mucus like stuff, which was not even hampering my driving view.
In our life, we sometimes get stuck on some things which are irrelevant to our goals and dreams, and we sometimes lose focus on the things that are important and dear to us ... to our family.
There are aslo times, that all we can see or think of people that hurt us or did a bad thing are their offenses or faults. We channel our thoughts at the wrong things that they've done, and forget all of the good things when everything was still sunny and zippy.
When a problem or failure in our life and relationship happens, we tend to see only the ugliness of things, instead of seeing a silver lining and the beauty of the world around us.
About the bug that hit my windshield, it might seem irrelevant. Nevertheless, it still served a purpose and only intelligent lifeforms like us, can make its existence of any importance. So, I've decided to compose a short poem.. in memory of that tiny little bug hahaha! that made a splatter on my windshield. Have a nice day!

A Bug hit my windshield
A bug hit my windshield,
It can't think it must yield...
Splattered on the glass pane!
Like Morpheus who doesnt wane.
The Wipers and water in harmony,
Big things out of focus for the tiny.
Making miniscule the annoying spot.
Insignificant bug on the top slot!
