Self healing

Yesterday my son was unwell: he seemed to have been bitten by a virus
While earlier he was off to school, by mid-morning he was under duress
I was getting ready to set off to my workplace when the school called
He was sick they said: his normally energetic approach to life stalled

I started to do what a parent would: conceived the worst and to worry
Driving to the school my mind was over-active and I began to hurry
He must be frothing at the mouth I told myself, should I call out to ER?
Or again, maybe he is already unconscious, maybe I should be ready for CPR?

I rushed to the office expecting the worst: but I didnt find him there
What a shock? Maybe undiscovered viruses have taken him to their lair
But he was in his classroom at his desk, when I reached there dishevelled
He seemed mildly surprised at my appearance, and started packing untroubled

I pelted him with repeated queries regarding his condition; was he well?
He listed his symptoms and said that he couldnt anything else to me tell
I wondered how he could be so matter of fact about his own bodily health
It was then I realized, that healing was not for him, but for my own self
