Reflections for Detective Rickie Allen Pearson, Jr.

The bell has rung, the time is here
We must face our challenges and show no fear
I have my brothers, to my left and my right
We are trained and stand ready to "Fight the good Fight!"

We arrive on scene and hear the information
We strap on our gear with nervous anticipation
My teammates sit focused, with a thousand yard stare
We all may be nervous, but no one is scared!

Silent prayers go up in the night,
from our families at home who tremble with fright.
We pray as well, to our almighty Father,
"Give us wisdom and strength, let us serve with honor."

For this is the job we were called to do,
We did not ask for this fight,but now we'll see it through.
I thank you Lord, for the men on this team,
Who bravely stand and proclaim,
"Hear am I, send me!"

Isaiah 6:8 "I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
Then said I, Hear am I, send me!"

Atleast I got to hug you one last time recently. We all love you and will miss you so much! I regret not telling you I love you son beacuse I do!! Rest in Peace

My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me


Author: Unknown
When I am gone, release me. Let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be
happy, we had so many years.

I gave you my love and you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown
But now it's time I traveled alone.

So grieve a while for me if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part
So bless those memories in your heart.

I won't be far away for life goes on
So if you need me , call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
with all my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and "Welcome You
Home".
