Abstract
PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT INSPIRED THIS WORK: As a pediatrician who works in the hospital setting, I see many sick children who get better and get to go home. These are the good days. But when a child dies at work, their memory carves out a little place in my heart forever. This memory led to the writing of this poem.
