It's Not Fair When a Child Dies

(This is a fictional poem) I'm a pediatrician and today one of my patients died. When I told the parents, they fell apart and cried. I felt so sorry for the parents after I told them. I did all I could for their son but I couldn't save him. I've lost about ten kids over the years. I feel so helpless when I see the parents burst into tears. When I'm able to save a child, I feel really great. But when I lose a child, it's something that I really hate. I know that I'm not God, I know that I can't save them all. But when each child dies, it makes me a little more bitter and appalled. I can't save them all but I sure do try. It's not fair when a child dies.
