Two weeks of my life are now missing, Absent time, I shall never recall But if not for those doctors and nurses I would never have been here at all, For my life, and that of my daughter they saved And for that I’ll be grateful, to the end of my days. © Janette Fisher – April 1983 This poem was written after the birth of my first daughter who is now 27
