Almost

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

This is dedicated to my nephue Elliot. His heart stopped yesterday, but he was brought back with CPR.

Saturday, July 10, 2010

To think we almost lost you
brings tears to my eyes.
A happy little toddler
with a smile so bright,
you bring the sunshine
into all our lifes.

It happened so fast
one minute you were there
then gone the next.
Pray thanks to all the powers
that be
that you are still here for us
to see.

So glad all turned out well, it is indeed frightening in anyone as I also flatlined with my heart before and was brought back, but it is so sad when it happens to one so young.
