That Day

That day, I woke up,
That day, I ate breakfast,
That day, I played, both inside and outside,
That day, I ate lunch,
That day, I rested,
That day, I played with my sister,
That day, I watched TV,
That day, I had a babysitter,
That day, everything started out perfectly normal,

But with a burst of anger,
A shove,
A cry,
A phone call,
A hospital,
Something broken,
Something was not normal.
