Emily's Poem #15 - "Fire"

The saying goes that fire exposes our priorities

During a fire a mother would look to her child

A banker would look to their gold

A shepherd would look to his sheep

But what I've always wondered is who I would look for

Maybe even what I would look for

Would I look for my family?

Would I look for my phone?

Would I look for a photograph of my friends?

Or would I look for something trivial and worthless?

Who knows what I would look for

But hopefully I'll never have to find out
