Neighbourly Love : Narrative Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

My neighbor  said ,

 I've come to realize that life is flashing past.

I never thought it would come to this but there's something I must ask  .

Could you ring a doctor or ambulance ."

Her voice was kind of sweet .

As he smiled he grabbed my hand and his face turned as white as a sheet .

I checked for a pulse and felt for his breath ,

Then titled back his head ,

Then assisted his breathing with CPR

Then he softly said.

"I don't have any health insurance ,

and my bank balance is nil ,

so leave me here to die , because I can't afford the hospital .

I'm not long for this world you know and pretty soon I will be dead .

My pains are getting worse each day . "

and then I smiled at him and said .

 

"Everything will be all right ,

so just relax and breath away .

In the church I go to ,

there are some people who will help you pay. "

See that's what Christianity is all about in a nutshell .

There's a heaven for those who care

and those who don't can go to hell .
