Wolves

Lord please shine a light of hope
On those of us who fall behind
And when we stumble in the snow
Could you help us up , while there's still time

Well I don't mean to be complainin' Lord
You've always seen me through
And I know You've got your reasons
For each and every thing You do
But tonight outside my window
There's a lonesome, mournful sound
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
' Bout the one the wolves pull down
Oh Lord, keep me from bein'
The one the wolves pull down

Once again, an old Garth Brooks song that speaks  volumes to me. This isn't the whole song. The entire thing is good, but I only put the end here. Why ? probably because  I didn't feel like typing it all in. Besides, this is the part that really speaks to me for fairly obvious reasons. Did you know that a company of firemen going floor to floor in one of the World Trade Center towers came upon a large room full of handicapped people on crutches and wheelchairs etc.. Who had been told to wait there, out of the way, for help to come . Each of these people had someone with them,who had helped them down, to this area where they were, and wouldn't leave,despite being ordered to leave. Every one of them stayed with their disabled person. The firemen called for help and they got everyone down and out of the building Most of these people were carried down the steps by firemen, who kept going back up until everyone and their helpers were out. Minutes later, the building collapsed. Now what does any of this have to do with anything? You see I  think about these things all of the time. I am not very fast anymore and stairs are not my strongpoint, so if there's a major problem I probably wouldn't make it out. That's not being negative, thats just facing a brutal reality, like those people in the WTC.They had no idea what was goingon because basically they were left to fend for themselves . I hope that I never have to face that reality because I know what would happen. I've seen it already, and I know what would happen. It's only human nature.
