Rescued

the flooded waters wash over the dirty car,
while the two people are trapped where they are,
the rescue helicopter arrives to save their life,
with one child and the woman a normal housewife,
the man is lowered and drops down on his rope,
taking the child first with all the mothers hope,
the man lowers again as the waters rise,
washed away from the top of her car a surprise,
the waters pull her down and up from the brown murk,
as the helicopter pilot moves down for this to work,
dropping the man on the rope into the watered cold,
he grabbed her by the hand so this story could be told.
