Sense Sonnet - Acher

At the Time

I was watching my 6 year old
Being a boy on the playground,
Climbing and running, oh so bold,
Every move, adventure bound.
Then suddenly, I saw him fall,
As he was skipping on the grass.
He said he wasn't hurt at all,
So I just let the moment pass.
Later, at home, he said his head
Was hurting awful, so I took
Him to ER. They said he'd bled
Inside his brain, which had been shook.

If I had erred on caution's side,
Perhaps my son would not have died.
