Who Would You Call
I was watching the film Sully
For a bit tonight
A real heroic story
About a real American hero
What got me thinking
Was the scene just after he left the sinking plane
And boarded the rescue ferry
He picked up his cell phone
He called his wife
Just to say “I’m okay”
In the brief moment
Before the world descended upon him
What I wondered was -
Who would I call?
In that moment of calm before mayhem
Who would be the one?
I’ve known of some that have called an ex
In one of those moments
A parent? A child?
Someone else?
Who would you call in that moment?
For some I’m sure it’s an easy pick
But for some not so much
Who would you call?
And what would you say?
A heroic moment
With just a window of minutes
To share and remember
Who would you call?
