Ambulance

I see an ambulance, lights flashing bright

And I wonder what’s happening tonight

A pang of shadows, a twist in my gut

As I image the pain, the fear, the hurt

What has befallen this unknown soul?

Are they in danger, are they whole?

I pray for their safety, for their health

Hoping they have loved ones, strong and stealth

I send out my thoughts, a silent plea

For the person in need, wherever they may be

May they find comfort, may their find peace

And may their loved ones’ worries cease

I see an ambulance and I wonder

What fate has brought them under

But I also see hope, shining bright

That they’ll make it through this fearful night

Much like the Airplane post, I often cry when I see an ambulance, especially if it's got its sirens on and moving fast. I wonder what happened. Are they old? Young? Suicide attempt? Missing a leg? Heart attack? Gun shot victim? (Highly possible in my city) I often say a silent prayer. Or say out loud, "I hope they'll be okay." Sometimes I get so tired of wanting everyone to be happy.
