Tommy, I can't beleive it...again. I sat and prayed...and cried for you last night, and for Pammy and the kids, and for our family in Riverdale and yours at Metra. God speed Tommy.

POLICEMAN'S PRAYER

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 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 his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
Can't always be a Saint.


I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my work 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,
I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills just got too 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 silence all around the Throne
Where the Saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.


"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Here we are again to honor and remember a law enforcement officer that has been taken down in the line of duty. To the family, friends, loved ones and sisters and brothers who wear the badge of law enforcement, we here at the Canon City Internet Radio, are sending you are deepest sympathies and prayers.
"A Part Of America Died",
Somebody killed a policeman today,
And part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
And spend many long lonely nights.
The beat he walked was a battle field too
just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
In your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And stands at each new rookies' side.
He answered the call,of himself and gave his all,
And a part of America died.

You will always be remembered and you are a HERO.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

As I do everyday, I logged onto the ODMP this morning and was obviously saddened to read about the loss of another brother officer. You are a true hero and will always be remembered as such. May God watch over your family and may you watch over your brother and sister officers from above.
