Trapped
What really happened there
Making the mine to collapse,
Leaving all six men trapped
While for a breath they gasp.
Sirens and lights filled the air
Quickly emergency crews arrive,
They work imediately but cautiously
In hopes to find the miners alive.
Family and friends all gather
Weeping together in prayer,
For no new news as of yet
Even strangers are gathering theree.
Many people growing restless
The shock, panic and fear,
Nobody really knowing much
Just waiting for the miners to appear.
Dead or alive is now the question
Will it be home or grave they go,
Praying with faith and hope
If only the answer we would know.
