Priorities

Have you ever thought of what you would do in the case of a house fire?

What you would attempt to save, what you would leave behind? What your priority would be?

I know I would save some sentimental things.

My first doll, my favorite dress, maybe some family pictures.

But what if it weren’t your house?

What if it were, say, your neighbors house? What if it were your best friends house?

What would you do then?

What would you do if your love was trapped in a burning building?

I know I would try my very best to save her.

And if that wasn’t enough, I’d try even harder.

Because, if you have your priorites right, you’d most likely want your significant other to be safe and sound.

Out on the street, watching the building burn.

Even if it meant you were still inside.

I know what my priorities are.

Do you?
