Pediatric E.R, R.I.P 11/5/09 (a drowning)

I watched…
A heartbreaking scene today
But I couldn’t tear
my eyes away

I watched …
I feel shamed to say
I watched
a little boy die today

I watched …
an anguished EMT cry
I watched nurses drawn faces
I watched a little boy die

I watched …
Just outside the doors
The Frantic CPR applied
With frantic, futile force

I watched
Her mother fearfully enter the room
To be seated by his side
To share in his impending doom

I watched
A strange, unsettling scene
Upturned faces as if in prayer
hopefully watch the vitals screen

I watched
A life dissipate and fade
On a bed
That I had newly made

I watched…
At least a half hour they tried
wondrous machines, marvelous medicines
Yet still, this little boy died

I watched…
Then I heard a small whimpering cry!
But It was only the mother
As she saw her child die

I watched…
His arms outspread, his mom at his side
Young staring eyes so angelicly appealing
a part of me then, also died
I watched, I watched
then I cried...
