Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

I wish I had something profound to say, but I don't. This has been the saddest year of my life. I spent a summer in Catano in 1971 and fell in love with a guy in the coast guard. That seems like a thousand years ago now. I will think of your family on the l6th and remember your sacrifice of your life.

Dios parado y hecho frente del policía,
Cuál debe venir siempre pasar.
Él esperaba que sus zapatos brillaran,
Apenas tan brillantemente como su latón.

"paso adelante ahora, policía.
¿Cómo tratar de usted?
¿Usted ha dado vuelta siempre a la otra mejilla?
¿A mi iglesia téngale sido verdad?"

El policía ajustó sus hombros y dijo,
"ningún señor, Conjeturo que no es I,
Porque los de nosotros que lleven una divisa no pueden siempre ser un
santo."

He tenido que trabajar la mayoría de los domingos,
y mi charla era ocasionalmente áspera,
y he sido a veces violento,
Porque las calles son terriblemente resistentes.

Pero nunca tomé un penique,
Ésa no era mina a guardar aunque trabajé muchos del tiempo
suplementario en que las cuentas consiguieron apenas demasiado
escarpadas.

Y nunca pasé un grito para la ayuda,
Sin embargo en el tiempo sacudarí con miedo.
Y a veces, El dios me perdona,
He llorado unmanly los rasgones.

Sé que no merezco un lugar entre la gente aquí.
Nunca quisieran que alrededor excepto calmara su miedo.

Si usted tiene un lugar para mí aquí, Señor,
No necesita ser tan magnífico.
Nunca contaba con o tenía demasiado,
Pero si usted no entenderé.

Había un silencio todo alrededor del trono donde los santos habían
pisado a menudo.
Como el policía esperó reservado,
Para el juicio de su dios.

"paso adelante ahora, policía,
Usted ha llevado sus cargas bien.
Caminata venida un golpe en las calles del cielo,
Usted ha hecho su tiempo en infierno "
