YOU CALL 9-1-1


I was hanging out on my Google site…Relaxing on Sunday
When I saw some lady’s post… That took my breath away

She didn’t have the strength…To get out of her bed

Told us not to worry…Soon she would be dead

Said she hadn’t eaten …For at least six days

I lowered my head…And yes, …I prayed

Everyone was typing…For her to just hold on

Excellent advice to take…No answer…she’s gone

Across the United States…And Friends from overseas

We formed a human web…To reach out and give relief

Well she posted this morning…After three long days

I thanked God for her life …But she slapped me in the face


Well………..



Here’s my question!

Are you really that dumb?
When someone threatens suicide
You call 9-1-1
We were even slammed
Because of our prayers
We could have said
“Hey go ahead!”
But some people
Really care
Well I have some advice
I truly must impart
Don’t you throw the blame at us
With that brick you call a heart
I’m glad you are alive
But I am done…..
If you want to die
don’t’ call 9-1-1

I know the right thing…Is to forgive the weak

But you are the type that…Would slap the other cheek

Just so you know…We felt terrible for you

Only tried to help because…Some have been there too

Hundreds of posts …And then you ask “Who cares?”….

You’re sick…so…I’ll keep you in my prayers……..


But...

Answer me lady!
Are you really that dumb?
When someone threatens suicide
You call 9-1-1
We were even slammed
Because of our prayers
We could have said
“Hey go ahead!”
But some people
Really care
Well I have some advice
I truly must impart
Don’t you throw the blame at us
With that brick you call a heart
I’m glad you are alive
But I am done…..
If you want to die
don’t’ call 9-1-1
