In a Moment

I will turn back the pages of my tattered life
to when I was five years old and it was my birthday
it was a cold winter day as mom and I strolled to the school
to walk my big sister home-  she was running and jumping
climbed a snowbank and slipped into the busy street
mom was screaming-  and my life changed forever
