SETH

You are my little baby,
so delicate and small.
I laugh when you are mad,
you cry whenever you fall.

I never thought it'd happen,
at least not something like this.
It hurts me so very bad,
that I can't even give you a kiss.

Why'd it have to happen,
especially to you.
No one could've predicted,
no one ever knew.

You were playing so nicely,
you happened to be behing the car.
She never even saw you,
it didn't even move very far.

It never should've happened,
you're only one year old.
I look at you in that bed,
your story's slowly being told.

Your little head's so swollen,
your little shoulder too.
Your nose is still so small,
I wish I would've had a clue.

The tubes make so much noise,
the wires, there are so many.
Youe little eyes are closed,
your still just as skinny.

They put you in a coma,
to help your brain get well.
Then they took you out,
and you're still doing quite swell.

I'll visit you this weekend,
I'll hold your little hand.
We'll think about tomorrow,
when we will play in the sand.

Keep fighting little Seth,
I'll be here all the way.
I'll be with you tomorrow,
and all the following days.

You're gonna be just fine,
just wait and you'll see.
I can't wait for the day that, again,
you'll get to play with me!!

I think I speak for the whole of the forum when I say that our hopes and prayers go out to Seth.  Helplessness is the stark reality we face from the regrettable frailty of humanity.  I have also stood silently over the hospital bed of one close to me, as frail and helpless to change things as the unconscious form beneath me.

Accidents are always ten times more terrible when they happen to children. I'm glad to hear that Seth is on the mend, and that you are there for him.

How very heartwrenching for you. I'm glad he's doing better, and I hope and pray he'll make a complete recovery. Your dedication to him is very good. I suggest you keep it... and let him read it when he is older.

Thanks everyone for your replies, thoughts, and prayers!!  Good news now is that Seth is awake and concious!  He will be taken off the breathing machine on Thursday and be out of ICU next week!  Thanks again.
