Poem
You ask if my home caught on fire and I only have sixteen minutes to gather those things that I treasure; what seven things would I hurriedly carry off with me. The first thing I would rush for, would be my husband's pillow. I hold it tightly when I go to bed to have him close. To remember the times, I would look into his eyes and taste his lips, to hear his heart beating with mines once again. The second thing I would rush for, is a briefcase, I keep all our important papers, special small mementos and collectibles that I keep of my children. The third thing I would rush for, would be my reading glasses. The fourth thing I would rush for, would be my cell phone and call 9-1-1 after leaving the property. The fifth thing I would rush for, would be my handbag with my wallet and of course some of my cosmetics, brush, aspirins, allergy pills, EpiPen, Tums. The sixth thing or things I would try to carry out would be, as many of my oil paintings that I've painted and kept in my own collection; to me, are irreplaceable. The seventh and the last would be, my husband's collection of Seraphim Angels by Roman or at least one. The angels meant the world to him. He would say the angels always made him feel a warmth inside him. Take my car out of the garage. It is really hard to put a value on some things. What is really important? A fire is disastrous, and as little as two minutes, a house fire can turn into a rapid movement and life-threatening disaster. 2/5/2019 Poetry Contest :Seven Things You Would Save If Your House Was On Fire Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger
