It was a scary, bumpy ride. <br />The driver wore a uniform, <br />They raced with purpose through the night, <br />through lightning strikes and thunderstorm. <br /> <br />At last the clinic, just ahead, <br />EMERGENCY, announced the light. <br />She'd soon be safe, resting in bed, <br />when they arrived their Mum had died.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-day-she-died/
