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"
