My grandson, trying to cross a small stream, in a play station for his young age, put his hand on a lever that was used to open and shut a gate in which water could flow through. He didn’t know the lever pushed down, thus it threw him into the rocks...a big ouch! He is okay though! His answer to his teacher about how he got hurt was the beginning of this Questionqu!

i fell from the sky that is my story, no lie why’d the earth hurt me? 4/13/2018

Thoughtful poem, Kim. No one should hurt little angels. Bad things should not happen to children. That's my story. Wish it was reality.

Thanks, Tom! Went back today. You wouldn’t believe the scintilla of a stream he had to cross. Such a freak thing!
