The policeman stood,
infront of a mirror.
He was making sure his badge,
was shiny and clear.
His wife looks at him,
and sees determination.
The policeman looks at his wife.
In her eyes, he sees fear.
Will he make it home tonight,
Or will he pay the ultimate price?
What would happen if he was not here?
Who would feed the children?
Who would catch the crooks,
so everyone could sleep without fear.
Would his memory live on or be forgotten?
These are all questions, minus a lot,
that you have to ask
If you marry a cop.
Why Did He Fall.
He had to fall,
and give his all.
Why did they take him?
I guess you'll never know.
In your heart,
he is still there.
And in your memory,
He is very near.
But in reality,
He is an eternity away.
Never again will he be
your parnter on the street.
You won't see him at roll call tomorrow,
and won't take him to dinner.
He may be gone, but will always be here,
And so tomorrow, when you lay down to sleep,
Know he is watching over you,
And taking care of you on your beat.
And yes you were his partner,
Until the very end.
But that does not mean,
You can't still be friends.
--Back To The Story..PS..this week at least once, please thank a cop for what they do..and remember they are just like me and you!
