Some words for a fallen brother...

"Nine planets surround the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much to we take for granted

So let him sleep outside tonight
Lay down in his mother's arms
For here he can rest safely

If green should slip to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat
If the mountains crumble away
And the rivers dry
Would it stop the stepping feet

Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury us
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we will rest safely

One sweet world
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
In her breath he is swimming
And here he will rest in peace..."

Rest easy brother, we'll take it from here.

Brother Rodriguez,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue
