Colan Hiatt Poet Rhyme

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"
