My prayers are with the family and Chucks fellow brothers. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. The bible says that we should in all things give thanks. I thank God for loaning Officer Chuck to us as a Husband, Father, Son, Brother, and Friend to all.

A Poem by me for all officers' families. I retain all rights to the poem. A poem or thought doesn't help anyone when buried in a lost book. So please I hope that you will be able to pass it along to someone who can take hope and pleasure from it.
NEW DREAMS
I know the star when I fear the night,
When I really need to see a light.
I know the tree where I played each day
And neither person nor nature can take them away.
For these things, like my dreams are within my heart
And nothing can ever make them depart.
The tree may go, the star might fade,
But from these memories new dreams are made.
My heart like my dreams seem to be broken
Yet my dreams for tomorrow still have to be spoken.
I will keep trying. I will not give in.
For if I cannot dream no one can win!

Somebody killed a policeman today,
and a 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 that he walked was a battle field too,
just as if he'd 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 our locked doors,
a cop put his life on the line.

Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
and he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call, of himself gave his all,
and a part of America died.
