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

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
