"Remember"
I never dreamed it would be me
My name for all eternity
Recorded here at this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more my face
"In the line of duty" I hear them say
My family now the price will pay
My folded flag stained with their tears
We only had those few short years
The badge no longer on my chest
I sleep now in eternal rest
My sword I pass to those behind
And pray they keep this thought in mind
I never dreamed it would be me
And with heavy heart and bended knee
I ask for all here from the past
Dear God, let my name be the last
"The Dance"
Looking back,
on the memory of
the dance we shared
beneath the stars above
For a moment
all the world was right,
how could I have known
that you'd ever say goodbye
And I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end,
the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance
I could've missed the pain,
but I'd a had to miss the dance.
Holding you
I held everything
for a moment, wasn't I the king?
If I'd only known how the king would fall
and who's to say...
you know I might have changed it all
And I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end,
the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance
I could've missed the pain
but I'd a had to miss the dance
Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could've missed the pain
but I'd a had to miss the dance.....

"God Bless Our Policemen & Women"
"NYPD, & Rescue":
As most of us stopped,
to see the fire in the sky,
you were in the trucks,
passing us by.
As the unthinkable horror,
makes us shed a tear,
you entered the building,
in your rescue gear.
As we sat in panic,
praying for no more
you were climbing stairs,
floor by floor.
We sat confused, awed,
and in strife
you were looking, hoping,
and praying for life.
As the building came down,
we feared you would too.
But God gave you wings,
and instead you flew.
- Emily Dickenson

May God Be With Those Left Behind
The Last Inspection
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step foreword now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I aint,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
when the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Thought at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
but if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step foreword now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Thank You For Protecting
me & my loved ones....without comprise
A Policeman's Prayer
Dear Lord, be with me on my beat
this day and every day.
Grant that each weary block I walk,
may ease a brothers way.
Let me be kindly to the old
and to the young, be strong.
But let me triumph over those
whose acts are cruel and wrong.
And if according to your plan,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.
