The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

It is a shame that you put your life on the line everyday in uniform and out. You would stand in front of a bullet to save someone elses life, and that person would not toss you a nickle if you were short. But it is what you were born to do.

What you do is special, you are not all schoolars you are not all rich but you are all brave. We might not admit it but you are the marines of civil service. you are the first line, no questions asked.

You were what we aspire to be a HERO. Thank you Dom. GOD BLESS you and others like you.

Well, it has been 5 years now, but today is the 6th birthday that we missed celebrating together. Even though I consider it missed because you are not here to enjoy it in person, I know in my heart you are still here with me every second of every day.
With this being your 35th birthday and my 27th, I just wish for one chance to show you in person the man I have become.
I am in a very good place in my life right now. The only thing missing is you. Sometimes I notice myself replaying your voice in my head just so I feel like you are with me. I see your picture everyday and and just hope that you know how much I love you.
To this day I still have lots of people that when they meet me, they bring you up. I never truly realized how many people you touched in your short time. I think that is a tremendous tribute to the life you led and the legacy you left all of us.
I love you, I miss you and I hope you keep up the good work with watching out for all of us.
We all miss you.

Until we meet again...

Dom, we all miss you. Your brother is doing a great job on the PD and we are very proud of him. Your mother is holding up as best she can. You would have been extremely proud of your wife at the sentencing. She spoke so beautiful and courageously. A female on the Judge's staff who is married to a Police Officer had to run out of the room while she was speaking. I don't know how any of us stayed in the Courtroom. All the Jersey City guys knealt in front of your name on the Memorial Wall in D.C. last month
someday. God Bless & God Speed.

Death is nothing at all.

I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, you are you,
Whatever we were to each other that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of site?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval.
Somewhere very near.
Just round the corner.
All is well.

~~~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~~

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free, so won't you take my hand and share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.
