Call For An Ambulance

A cry in the night She’s not breathing Such a frantic sight Call for an ambulance so frightening We wait and wait doing our best CPR ongoing we struggle on It goes to ten then twenty, thirty minutes our quest To save a life but it is now lost and gone An ambulance service way under staffed struggling with care Driving from emergency to emergency an endless song I wonder if the politicians would think different if it was theirs Waiting and hoping for an ambulance all along. © Paul Warren Poetry
