The Staff and members of the Chauffeur Internet Radio here in Colorado send our deepest sympathys and condolences to the family, friends, and the sisters and brothers in uniform at tAn Officers Last Patrol
A Policeman's Last Patrol
The Policeman stood and faced God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining,
just as brightly as his brass. Step forward 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 off his shoulders and said "No Lord,
I guess I ain't, because those of us who carry badges can't always be
saints." "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." "
I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep though I worked a lot of
overtime when the bills just got to steep." "And I never passed a cry
for help, though 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 a silence all around the throne where the saints had often
trod. As the policeman waited quietly, for the judgment of his God.
Step forward now Policeman, you've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's Street, you've done your time in hell....
