Nine One One

! Nine; One, One ! Red lights flashed, - the siren shrieked As it passed me on the interstate I slowed and realized as it sped on They were rushing to, someones fate An accident; a heart attack, or a fall Or some other unknown situation More detail, they would soon know When they reached their destination Responding to a nine; one, one call That attendants had intercepted The days routine was now altered Plans, for sure were interrupted The first thing that crossed my mind As I breathed a silent prayer This "someone" I didn't know Had needs of which, I was not aware As of now, I was safe and secure But for them, there must be pain We never know, when we leave home If we will ever return again Proverbs, twenty seven; one Is a reminder for us all Of this, we should always be alert Today could be, our "emergency call" Colan L Hiatt = 02-03-17 © All Rights Reserved
