Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Awful Moment

Jake, my grandson, is 1 year old.
We are out enjoying the day.
To the end of the dock, I have rolled
Jake's stroller. We look at the bay.
I reach in my pocket to get
A snack for Jake. A gust of wind
Hits suddenly, and I'm offset.
The blast of air does also send
The stroller rolling from the dock
Into the dark waters below.
I run to the edge, and in shock,
See Jake pulled in the undertow.

I jump in to try to help him.
But then remember, I can't swim.
