Unexpected

One day they come in and hear no sound

Everything is still and quiet as the dirt on the ground

They look around in each of the rooms and begin to worry

Put their palms together and pray for glory

As they open up that one room that is always locked

Feeling that mild air of emptiness, running through their bodies and getting shocked

To see their child lying the on the bed so peaceful

Like a newborn baby bundled up so beautiful

They call out to their child's name but there's no answer

Starting to believe their child is playing a sleeping game

They call out their child's name again, but still no answer

Their bodies tense up with sadness and anger

Going over to their childs bed to view the stillness

Their tears start to flow of emptiness

No pulse, no heartbeat, no warmth the child lays their still and unknown

They go over and reach for the telephone

Dialing those three numbers after each tone

That voice from the other end

9-1-1 what is your emergency
