When I was in the boy scouts
Ever so very long ago~
They taught us to always be prepared
This saved my life many times its so~
In conversation with some friends
Recently within my home~
Talking came of preperation
When emergancies bight the bone~
They told they never had a first aid box
On hand for family~
And we talked of preperation
For things that just might be~
In this day and age within ones home
So many are not prepared it seems~
For things that can occur so easily
And after which destroys lives and dreams~
To prepare children with a fire escape
What not and what to do~
In cases of emergancies
Is in my mind a must its true~
A well stocked first aid box there
And having taught basics of use~
I am not an alarmist but
These things I don't let loose~
It makes sense in basic ways
To buy that extra tin of food~
And store them somewhere out of the way
For a rainy day to feed a crew~
This is not a panic thing
Its your family after all said and done~
Preperation it can save a life
With preperation you have won~
Medicals,Candles, extra blankets and such
Placed safetly away in case~
So often the unexpected it arrives
And with preperation your family embrace~
Its all for your own true loved ones
Your very own family~
Preperation dont cost much
It all makes sense to me ~
