Rescued
Closer than ever the sirens were near
Tires screeching at halting speed
Multiple footsteps could be heard
A rescue plan unfolding
Taking a swift turn of advantage
The assailant made a Dodge
Hastening towards her, he pulled the trigger
And darted into darkness
A shrieking cry escaped her mouth
As she lay flat on the ground
Pressure rising within her chest
She knew indeed this was the end
It was a sad night
Yet a night of victory
Between her palms laid the book
The very key to save her destiny
So simple yet so true
Written on seemingly thin sheets
So studded and concrete
To her heart in all devotion it was closely knit
In the midst of the blur
Her lids blinked open in a daze
To see she was in the midst of a frenzy
For the siren had her surrounded
Too terrified was she
crouched in terror rocking her knees
Rude Flashes of remembrance
Streaked through her mind
As the event of a minute past
Washed over her like rain on a sunny day
Suddenly the thought struck her like lightening
She had just being saved again
Mind throbbing, agitation rising
Her eyes fell upon the book she clenched all along
As a metal shone through
Catching her attention anew
Mustering enough strength to steady herself
She focused intently with fresh interest
Behold there it was helplessly
The bullet, stopped by the Word!
Stuck between the Bible was the deadly weapon
Fashioned solely for her destruction
But by the power of the Word
Her life was preserved for a second time
