Not a Moment Too Soon

Not a moment too soon A fireman is a brave hero, you see He's always there when you need him to be. This happened to me On one fateful night We all went to bed, Thinking all was all right. After a quick "g'night, mommy" That I heard her say And a "goodnight, daddy" She went on her way. Up the stairs she went And then off to her bed. There wasn't a worry Not one in my head. The house quiets down And I think she's asleep, For she was real quite, Not even a peep. I put my feet up, Thinking "What a long day" I'm truly exhausted, From what all came my way." My heart stopped when I heard a blood curdling scream Coming from her room, It wasn't a dream Time slowed right down Well, that's how it seemed And when I saw her I let out a scream. Covered in blood From the bottom to top I though I would faint I felt I would drop. What happened next I cant be quite sure It all happened so fast It was all just a blur The next thing remembered in the light of the moon The firemen coming Not a moment too soon. They took her from me And then started their job And that's when it hit me And I started to sob. "She's gonna be fine" They came up to say I dropped to my knees and I started to pray. I am on my knees Under the light of the moon I thank God for them coming, Not a moment too soon. 1/21/2020
