Flashbacks

Today I fought back many tears, Reflections of yesterday brought many fears. I had to recertify my CPR skills. This brought back memories that wasn’t a thrill. For November 7th was an awful night. Just one month ago Jeremiah lost his life. Being the first ones upon the scene, My husband and I worked as a team. Assess, alert and attend we did. To a small child that was found within. Laying there motionless in his mothers arm. Why a small child who had done no harm. It has been four months now since that awful night. Yet the memories have not faded nor gone out of sight. Flashbacks come back time after time. I just pray for healing for this troubled mind. poem started 12-7-2007 finished on 3-15-2008
