The Last to Fall

It was just a normal day for their family
The father kissed the mother on the lips
Rubbed his child’s head as he walked out the door
Every weekend he had these business trips

Wives always get those conscious feelings
And this wife knew something wasn’t right
So she prayed his business deals go over well
And let nothing happen on his ten hour flight

He called her when he landed safely
It was such a relief to know he was ok
But his precious, innocent family
Didn’t realize what would happen today

Only three hours into wheeling and dealing
This husband got a nerve racking call
Every business like his in the surrounding area
Have been bombed and were starting to fall

He knew it would only be minutes
Until his 5th floor would be hit
When he dialed for his wife’s phone
All the phone towers decided to quit

Being the Christian man he was
He said, “Lord I understand if it’s my time to go
But please dear God let me call my family
So they won’t be so surprised when someone delivers the memo”

He tried and tried and no dial tone picked up
He fell to his knees and he heard sirens around town
Everyone was running around the office
Knowing that their building was soon to fall down

Kneeling by his chair he heard his phone beep
A text message came on his screen from his wife
“Baby I’ve been watching the news
And I’m so terribly scared for your life”

He text her one final “I love you”
As he heard the bombs in his building explode
Wondering if he could make it out the doors
Wondering if the doors were locked with a code

His wife heard on the news they said,
The last building had now fell
She looked at her phone as it said one new message
It read, “I just barely made it out through the stair wells”

He was able to call her and he said,
“My building might have been the last to fall
But I’m one of the only men standing
And I knew God would allow me to make this call”

This was a contest and I was given this title...I have NO CLUE where to place this....any ideas?
